[9fans] [Q] how to generate PostScript file containing non-English characters

[Hiroki Tamakoshi]

Hello,

Subject: says everything.

troff -man foo | lp -dstdout > foo.ps
prints series of
/386/bin/aux/tr2post: <stdin>:3963 :WARNING: cannot find glyph,
rune=0x3002 stoken=<..> troff font LuciaSans
...

The file foo contains Japanese encoded in UTF.
How can I install Japanese font?

	The file foo contains Japanese encoded in UTF.

Place your Japanese characters in font Jp (e.g. \f(Jpこんにちは 世界\fP)
and run troff like this:
	troff -man -mnihongo foo | lp -dstdout > foo.ps
Look at the document /sys/doc/utf.ms to see this in action.

Thanks. That helped me.
But the next difficulty is the swap size.
tr2post says: swap space full.

Can I change the swap size after installing Plan 9?

Re-installing Plan 9 with much swap size correct this problem.
But the next thing to do is to improve the formatting policy of troff
(or lp?), because the typesetted result is very strange. Hmm.
