Can anyone here have a look at this? I guess you know more than me about PostScript.
What is the situation with post-script and RTL? Is the guy correct (see attachment), I taught that it was possible to have RTL text in postscript files, or is the problem elsewhere in this case? Also, will Culmus fonts be usable? If you look at the source Passepartout seems to predefine a basic font set. Look at: ./passepartout-0.2/src/fonts/fontinfo.cc http://www.stacken.kth.se/project/pptout/doc.shtml A very nice tool btw, it's a DTP tool using XML/XSL external files with Unicode support. It seems to also support importing XHTML. Thanks ------- Attachment ----------------- US> Hey, Thanks. Works fine. Sorry for missing the notice on the US> front page about the patch. Good! US> 1. Pass. crashed when I tried to import a plain text file, which US> I guess is not supported at all, not even through a default XML US> schema of some sort? I guess since your are referencing the file US> could be nice to have defaults for plain non-formated paragraphs. Hm. Yes, it would be rather simple to create a simple filter for plain text files ...

We have our own code for finding those (from whats installed with gs and X11). Hm. Maybe "Avant Garde" isn't a free font, but a font we have access to here at KTH. In that case, we should change our samples to use Nimbus Sans or something, thats distributed with ghostscript. US> 3. Also, I can see it supports Unicode.

In that case, nope, thats not supported (at least not yet). Sorry. US> Seems like a very useful tool. How does it compare with Scribus btw? Scribus? Hadn't heard of it before reading some comments at gnomedesctop.org this morning ... >From a quick look at their webpage, the main difference seems to be that Scribus uses Qt while Passepartout uses Gtk. Also, Scribus seems to be more mature as a project, with more advanced font handling, PDF export (planned but not there yet in Passepartout), color separations, etc ... -- Rasmus Kaj ----------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ We don't care.
