6 ogonkify - international support for PostScript
7
10 ogonkify [-p procset] [-e encoding] [-r Old=New] [-a] [-c] [-h] [-t]
11 [-A] [-C] [-H] [-T] [-AT] [-CT] [-ATH] [-CTH] [-E] [-N] [-M] [-mp]
12 [-SO] [-AX] [-F] [-RS] [--] file ...
13
16 ogonkify does various munging of PostScript files related to printing
17 in different languages. Its main use is to filter the output of Net‐
18 scape, Mosaic and other programs in order to print in languages that
19 don't use the standard Western-European encoding (ISO 8859-1).
20
23 Installation instructions are provided in the file INSTALL. Assuming
24 the installation has been correctly completed, save the PostScript out‐
25 put of Netscape or Mosaic to a file, say output.ps. Then print it
26 using
27 % ogonkify -AT -N output.ps | lpr
29 in the case of Netscape, or
31 % ogonkify -AT -M output.ps | lpr
33 in the case of Mosaic.
35 You may want to change the -AT option to -CT in order to use a high
37 quality Courier font from IBM (at the price of slower printing).
38 An alternative way to print from Netscape is to set the printing com‐
40 mand in the printing dialog box to:
41 ogonkify -AT -N | lpr
43 For more details, see the USAGE section below.
45
48 -p Includes the specified procset in the output file.
49 -e Set the encoding of the output. Defaults to L2 (ISO 8859-2,
52 a.k.a. ISO Latin-2). Other possible values are L1 (ISO 8859-1,
53 a.k.a. ISO Latin-1), L3 (ISO 8859-3, a.k.a. ISO Latin-3), L4
54 (ISO 8859-4, a.k.a. ISO Latin-4), L5 (ISO 8859-9, a.k.a. ISO
55 Latin-5), L6 (ISO 8859-10, a.k.a. ISO Latin-6), L7 (ISO 8859-13,
56 a.k.a. ISO Latin-7), L9 (ISO 8859-15, a.k.a. ISO Latin-9),
57 CP1250 (Microsoft Code Page 1250, a.k.a. CeP), ibmpc (Original
58 IBM-PC encoding), mac (Apple Macintosh encoding) and hp (HP
59 Roman Encoding).
60 -r Use the font New in place of Old. Will lead to ugly or unread‐
63 able output when the metrics mismatch.
64 -a Do the right font remappings for using Courier-Ogonki in place
67 of Courier (the a stands for Adobe Courier). This avoids down‐
68 loading any fonts to the printer.
69 -c Do the right font remappings for using IBM Courier in place of
72 Adobe Courier.
73 -t Do the right font remappings for using Times-Roman-Ogonki in
76 place of Times-Roman.
77 -h Do the right font remappings for using Helvetica-Ogonki in place
80 of Helvetica.
81 -A Like -a but also downloads the Courier-Ogonki fonts.
84 -C Like -c, but also downloads the IBM Courier fonts.
87 -H Like -h, but also downloads the Helvetica-xxx-Ogonki fonts.
90 -T Like -t, but also downloads the Times-xxx-Ogonki fonts.
93 -CT Equivalent to -C -T.
96 -CTH Equivalent to -C -T -H.
99 -E Add the Euro currency sign to all standard fonts (use with -e
102 L9).
103 -N Do Netscape processing.
106 -M Do Mosaic processing.
109 -mp Do mp processing. Will not work with the -A option (use -C
112 instead).
113 -SO Do StarOffice processing.
116 -AX Do ApplixWare processing.
119 -F Do XFig processing.
122 -RS Recode standard fonts. This is likely to work with applications
125 that leave fonts in AdobeStandardEncoding, typically applica‐
126 tions that do not even support printing even of characters.
127 -- End options.

134 Let us assume that you want to print a WWW page encoded in ISO Latin-2.
135 Netscape stubbornly insists on printing it as ISO Latin-1. By using the
136 File->Print command, have Netscape send the output to a file, say ala‐
137 makota.ps.
138 As ogonkify is configured for ISO Latin-2 by default, passing it the
140 PostScript generated by Netscape will correct the encoding of the
141 fonts. It is enough to do:
142 % ogonkify -N <alamakota.ps | lpr
144 However, most printers do not have fonts with the needed characters
146 installed; synthesized fonts will be downloaded and used instead of
147 Courier and Times-Roman with -AT, and a very good Courier font from IBM
148 will be used with: -CT. The command will therefore typically be:
149 % ogonkify -N -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
151 or eventually
153 % ogonkify -N -CT <alamakota.ps | lpr
155 Typical usage with other programs is:
157 % ogonkify -M -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
159 % ogonkify -mp -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
160 % ogonkify -SO -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
161 % ogonkify -AX -ATH <alamakota.ps | lpr
162 % ogonkify -XF -ATH <alamakota.ps | lpr
163
165 Characters with an `ogonek' should be constructed differently (for
166 instance, the `ogonek' used with an `a' should be differently shaped
167 than the one used with an `e'.)
168 It would be better to patch the programs we have the sources to than to
170 post-process the produced PostScript.
171 The program is written in Perl.
173
176 In order to view the output PostScript with Ghostscript, you might need
177 to run gs with the flag -dNOPLATFONTS, and ghostview with the flag
178 -arguments -dNOPLATFONTS.
179 Netscape, IBM, Adobe, PostScript, StarOffice, ApplixWare and possibly
181 others are registered trademarks.
182
185 Much of the composite character data have been provided by Primoz
186 Peterlin, H. Turgut Uyar, Ricardas Cepas, Kristof Petrovay and Jan
187 Prikryl.
188 Jacek Pliszka provided the support for StarOffice. Andrzej Baginski
190 provided the support for ApplixWare.
191 Markku Rossi wrote genscript and provided many useful encoding vectors
193 with the distribution.
194 Throughout writing the Postscript code, I used the ghostscript inter‐
196 preter, by Peter Deutsch.
197 Larry Wall wrote perl, the syntax and semantics of which are a never
199 ending source of puzzlement.
