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.
