OGONKIFY(1)OGONKIFY(1)NAMEogonkify - international support for PostScript
SYNOPSISogonkify [-p procset] [-e encoding] [-r Old=New] [-a] [-c]
[-h] [-t] [-A] [-C] [-H] [-T] [-AT] [-CT] [-ATH] [-CTH]
[-E] [-N] [-M] [-mp] [-SO] [-AX] [-F] [-RS] [--] file ...
DESCRIPTIONogonkify does various munging of PostScript files related
to printing in different languages. Its main use is to
filter the output of Netscape, Mosaic and other programs
in order to print in languages that don't use the standard
Western-European encoding (ISO 8859-1).
SUMMARY USAGE
Installation instructions are provided in the file
INSTALL. Assuming the installation has been correctly
completed, save the PostScript output of Netscape or
Mosaic to a file, say output.ps. Then print it using
% ogonkify-AT -N output.ps | lpr
in the case of Netscape, or
% ogonkify-AT -M output.ps | lpr
in the case of Mosaic.
You may want to change the -AT option to -CT in order to
use a high quality Courier font from IBM (at the price of
slower printing).
An alternative way to print from Netscape is to set the
printing command in the printing dialog box to:
ogonkify-AT -N | lpr
For more details, see the USAGE section below.
OPTIONS-p Includes the specified procset in the output file.
-e Set the encoding of the output. Defaults to L2 (ISO
8859-2, a.k.a. ISO Latin-2). Other possible values
are L1 (ISO 8859-1, a.k.a. ISO Latin-1), L3 (ISO
8859-3, a.k.a. ISO Latin-3), L4 (ISO 8859-4, a.k.a.
ISO Latin-4), L5 (ISO 8859-9, a.k.a. ISO Latin-5),
L6 (ISO 8859-10, a.k.a. ISO Latin-6), L7 (ISO

8859-13, a.k.a. ISO Latin-7), L9 (ISO 8859-15,
a.k.a. ISO Latin-9), CP1250 (Microsoft Code Page
1250, a.k.a. CeP), ibmpc (Original IBM-PC encod
ing), mac (Apple Macintosh encoding) and hp (HP
Roman Encoding).
-r Use the font New in place of Old. Will lead to
ugly or unreadable output when the metrics mis
match.
-a Do the right font remappings for using
Courier-Ogonki in place of Courier (the a stands
for Adobe Courier). This avoids downloading any
fonts to the printer.
-c Do the right font remappings for using IBM Courier
in place of Adobe Courier.
-t Do the right font remappings for using
Times-Roman-Ogonki in place of Times-Roman.
-h Do the right font remappings for using Hel
vetica-Ogonki in place of Helvetica.
-A Like -a but also downloads the Courier-Ogonki
fonts.
-C Like -c, but also downloads the IBM Courier fonts.
-H Like -h, but also downloads the Hel
vetica-xxx-Ogonki fonts.
-T Like -t, but also downloads the Times-xxx-Ogonki
fonts.
-CT Equivalent to -C -T.
-CTH Equivalent to -C -T -H.
-E Add the Euro currency sign to all standard fonts
(use with -e L9).

OGONKIFY(1)OGONKIFY(1)-N Do Netscape processing.
-M Do Mosaic processing.
-mp Do mp processing. Will not work with the -A option
(use -C instead).
-SO Do StarOffice processing.
-AX Do ApplixWare processing.
-F Do XFig processing.
-RS Recode standard fonts. This is likely to work with
applications that leave fonts in AdobeStandardEn
coding, typically applications that do not even
support printing even of characters.
-- End options.
USAGE
Let us assume that you want to print a WWW page encoded in
ISO Latin-2. Netscape stubbornly insists on printing it as
ISO Latin-1. By using the File->Print command, have
Netscape send the output to a file, say alamakota.ps.
As ogonkify is configured for ISO Latin-2 by default,
passing it the PostScript generated by Netscape will cor
rect the encoding of the fonts. It is enough to do:
% ogonkify-N <alamakota.ps | lpr
However, most printers do not have fonts with the needed
characters installed; synthetized fonts will be downloaded
and used instead of Courier and Times-Roman with -AT, and
a very good Courier font from IBM will be used with: -CT.
The command will therefore typically be:
% ogonkify-N -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
or eventually
% ogonkify-N -CT <alamakota.ps | lpr
Typical usage with other programs is:

% ogonkify-M -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
% ogonkify-mp -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
% ogonkify-SO -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
% ogonkify-AX -ATH <alamakota.ps | lpr
% ogonkify-XF -ATH <alamakota.ps | lpr
BUGS
Characters with an `ogonek' should be constructed differ
ently (for instance, the `ogonek' used with an `a' should
be differently shaped than the one used with an `e'.)
It would be better to patch the programs we have the
sources to than to post-process the produced PostScript.
The program is written in Perl.
NOTES
In order to view the output PostScript with Ghostscript,
you might need to run gs with the flag -dNOPLATFONTS, and
ghostview with the flag -arguments -dNOPLATFONTS.

THANKS
Much of the composite character data have been provided by
Primoz Peterlin, H. Turgut Uyar, Ricardas Cepas, Kristof
Petrovay and Jan Prikryl.
Jacek Pliszka provided the support for StarOffice.
Andrzej Baginski provided the support for ApplixWare.
Markku Rossi wrote genscript and provided many useful
encoding vectors with the distribution.
Throughout writing the Postscript code, I used the
ghostscript interpreter, by Peter Deutsch.
Larry Wall wrote perl, the syntax and semantics of which
are a never ending source of puzzlement.
