I'm using it now to generate paper strips for myself. Since my first name includes a Latin1 character, Á, the output is a bit funny -- instead of the Á I see a single ` instead. I see that there is a conversion from utf8 to latin1 using iconv in the Perl code, but it seems that Postscript isn't completely happy about this. I found this simple recipe that lets Postscript understand Latin1 chars: http://blackshell.usebox.net/archive/codificar-iso-latin1-en-postscript.html (The text is in spanish, but you should be able to read the Postscript code). Just by adding that function to the generated PS output and changing the font name (from Times-Roman to _Times-Roman) I was able to get a file that looks correct on screen. I didn't find a more appropriate place to report this. Hope it serves to improve future versions of this program. -- Álvaro Herrera <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
