[9fans] /sys/lib/troff/font/devpost ?

[Fco.J.Ballesteros]

I would like to use unicode with troff to print on a regular ps printer,
I tried with troff -ms -muni, but characters like á é ñ are not defined.
Since my printer does not use unicode, anyone could send me a pointer
to a place where to get these files? That way I could use -Tpost.
Or is there a better way?

thanks

PS: Already tried google, no luck.

The characters appear on page, and now
(see my previous mail) they work on the printer too.
Thanks a lot for your help.

If the characters appear correctly when
previewing with page(1), then there is a way
to get them to the printer.  If not, then I'm
confused.

Using LucidaSans fonts should be okay.

still no á é ⁱ... in the printer.
Any other idea?

Just use the unicode device (not -Tpost) and then run the result through

aux/download -f -H/sys/lib/postscript/font -mfontmap -r/sys/lib/postscript/font/lw+

to pick up the extra fonts your printer needs.

the default fonts work like a charm. In my previous attempt, download seemed to
have problems because I was forcing LucidaSans fonts.

I'm sorry to bother you all but I'm a troff novice.
It impressive, this is the first time I wrote a document in troff
(other than manual pages) and I think I already prefer it to LaTeX
(no flame wars please).

thanks.

What troff font are you using in the document?
	troff ... | grep '^x '
Look those up in /sys/lib/troff/font and make sure
you see the corresponding fonts in the postscript
output
	troff ... | lp -dstdout | grep DocumentFonts

The device name is "utf":

rob% troff
