1*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier Directory dpost is DWB 3.3 version without UTF changes. dpost.utf is
2*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier stuff for Plan 9. Both build and install dpost, so only pick one. The
3*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier makefile I sent (postscript.mk) builds dpost.utf.
4*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier
5*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier Left READING set to ONEBYTE in common/gen.h. Expect dpost errors unless
6*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier 'x E UTF' is added to troff output or READING set to UTFENCODING. Easy
7*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier to make 'x E UTF' anything else too.
8*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier
9*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier Left RUNELIB defined in common/rune.h so rune.c stuff is used when
10*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier dpost.utf is built.
11*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier
12*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier UTF.enc is in directory psencoding. Install and link to Default.enc on
13*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier Plan 9.
14*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier
15*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier Carmela requested two new characters: \(bs for backslash and \(dq for
16*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier double quote. Both are in devLatin1 and devpost tables. Carmela also
17*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier asked for a bunch of her devpost accent characters in devLatin1. Added
18*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier them to the end of the devLatin1 tables.
19*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier
20*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier A word of warning about devLatin1. Carmela, Peter and others complained
21*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier about - and hyphens being too long in the Latin1 fonts. I used Abode's
22*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier choice but nobody liked it. New devLatin1 tables use a smaller character
23*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier for hy. Looks better (I guess) but a width change affects line and page
24*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier breaks!! Not sure what you want to do. Complaints on this one go to
25*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier npn and carmela!!!
26*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier
27*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier Didn't take your suggested pathname change in download. Didn't want to
28*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier risk breaking Unix 4.0 lp. What's there is bogus but was only for Unix
29*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier 4.0. The -r option accomplishes something similiar but needs a full path.
30*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier
31*219b2ee8SDavid du Colombier postio.mk is very different and not tested on V9.
