Description

This port tries to follow numerous suggestions and HOWTOs posted on the web about printing and viewing PostScript files containing Russian characters (in KOI8 encoding, are there others?).

In installs the fonts taken from ftp://ftp.kapella.gpi.ru/pub/cyrillic/psfonts/

into their own ${PREFIX}/CyrPS directory, and places the infonts.dir/fonts.scale there for your X-server's perusal.

If you happen to have ghostscript installed, it will also append its Fontmap file to print/display with this fonts by default.

Note, however, that this will NOT make your PostScript printers print in Russian, since they have their own PostScript interpreters built in. Use `koify' to deal with those.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 1.0, as upstream numbers it.

Message after installing

This  port  tries  to patch  the  GhostScript's  Fontmap
	automaticly, so unless you have non-standard GhostScript
	installation   (or   if    you   installed   GhostScript
	afterwards), you should not have to do anything.

	For   your  X-server   to  use   the  fonts,   you  have
	to    add    the   /usr/local/share/koi8r-ps    (usually,
	/usr/local/share/koi8r-ps)  to  the server's  font-path.
	Use ``xset  fp+'' to do  this for the  current X-session
	and consult  your X-server's documentation to  make this
	permanent.

	For gv  to use  the newly installed  KOI8 fonts,  it may
	have  to start  GhostScript  with the  ``-dNOPLATFONTS''
	option. One way  to ensure this is  to add -dNOPLATFONTS
	to  the   GV.gsX11Device  resource  --  either   in  the
	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/GV,  or in  individual's
	~/.Xdefaults. An individual user  can also put this into
	his or her  ~/.gv file, by starting up  gv, choosing the
	menu option  ``Ghostscript Options'' from  the ``State''
	menu and typing in ``-dNOPLATFONTS'' into the ``Device''
	entry.

	This package will NOT by  itself help you print Cyrillic
	on PostScript printers --  they use their own PostScript
	engines  (not GhostScript).  The port  russian/koify may
	help you with those.
