SYNOPSIS

       uniprint [ -out output-file ] [ -in input-file ] [ -decode encoding ] [ -printer printer ]
       [ -L ] [ -media media ] [ -us ] [ -nus ] [ -break ] [ -wrap ] [ -left ] [ -right ] [ -size
       font-size ] [ -hsize header-font-size ] [ -font font-set ]

DESCRIPTION

       uniprint  is  a  program from the yudit package. It makes a formatted poscript output that
       can be saved or directly sent to the printer.   The  program  needs  TrueType/OpenType/CFF
       fonts that have Unicode table in order  to operate.

       If  you  are  running  Linux  you  most  probably  have Unicode TrueType/OpenType fonts in
       /usr/share/fonts directory.

       The postcript output contains all information needed to draw glyps.  No fonts  are  needed
       on the printer side.  You may encounter problems with old ghostview or old printers.

OPTIONS

       -out ouput-file
              Do  not  sent  the  output  to the printer, put it in the file instead.  If the '-'
              character is specified, send the postscript data  to the standard output.

       -in input-file
              If specified read the document from a file. Read stdin otherwise.

       -decode encoding
              specifies the encoding of the input text.  All encoding methods that are  available
              for uniconv can be used. If not specified encoding is set to utf-8.

       -printer printer
              Send the postscript output to printer through the 'lpr -P Printer' command.

       -break option  makes  this  program  print  a  graphical  representation  of line breaking
              characters.

       -us    option turns on uniscribe emulation. For some scripts emulation  is  turned  on  by
              default.

       -nus   option  turns  off uniscribe emulation. For some scripts emulation is turned off by
              default.

       -wrap  option makes this program do a simplistic line breaking on word boundaries.

       -left  option sets the embedding of the document to Left.

       -right option sets the embedding of the document to Right.

       -L     Selects landscape printing. The default is portrait.

       -media media
              Sets paper size. The default is A4. The following media values  are  accepted:  A3,
              A4, A5, B4, B5, Executive, Folio, Ledger, Legal, Letter, Quarto, Statement, Tabloid

       -size font-size
              sets the size of the font for the text body in points.

       -hsize heder-font-size
              sets  the size of the font for the header in points.  If zero size is specified, no
              header is printed.

       -font font-set
              specifies the font to be used for printing.

              font-set is the filename part of the font, like Arial.ttf or a font set, defined in
              yudit.properties  as  yudit.font.   For  instance  Terminal  font-set that contains
              ipag.ttf,unifont.ttf  can  be  used  if  you  have  the   following   property   in
              yudit.properties:

              yudit.font.Terminal=ipag.ttf,unifont.ttf

              By  default  ~/.yudit/fonts, yudit.fontpath and /usr/share/yudit/fonts are searched
              for font files.  This option can be specified multiple times with font  file  names
              or only once if a yudit font-set is used.

FILES

       ~/.yudit/yudit.properties and /usr/share/yudit/config/yudit.properties have yudit.fontpath
       and the font-sets defined.
