Hello

Interestingly the file looks and prints(!) fine from KDE's kwrite; any
ideas? Thanks

Subject: cups 1.3.9 (from ports) && Cyrillic fonts


Hello,

I want to print via CUPS (from the ports 1.3.9) in FreeBSD 8-CURRENT
UTF-8 text files with Cyrillic (and other) chars; see the very small
attached file; the conversion of the UTF-8 textfile is done by CUPS's
texttops and someone can simulate this without wasting paper with this
command:

$ CHARSET=utf-8 /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/texttops 1 rleigh myfile 1 "" < testfile.utf8 > ps

and check the resulting PostScript file with a viewer, for example
Ghostview. 

The mapping between the Unicode codepoints and fonts for CUPS is done in
/usr/local/share/cups/charsets/utf-8 which has for Cyrillic chars U-0400...U+04FF:

0400 04FF ltor single Courier Courier-Bold Courier-Italic Courier-Bold-Italic

Using the attached test file all is printed fine, all but the Cyrillic
line. If you run this through Ghostview it says (it seems for the
Cyrillic chars):

$ gs ps

Substituting .notdef for afii10035 in the font Courier
Substituting .notdef for afii10077 in the font Courier
Substituting .notdef for afii10085 in the font Courier
...

On a real printer all is printed fine, all but the the Cyrillic line.
Any idea what is missing? Is this a problem with CUPS or with the
viewer?

Thanks in advance
