Hello! I have a first try of a patch that adds the ability to print international character in postscript output. The patch applies to C sources of libgeda 20050820 release. It does searches the page being printed for Utf-8 coded characters then creates remapped postscript font and modifies the strings sent to postscript file to use the mapping. Some ideas on font remapping in postscript were taken from a2ps.
The number of international characters is limited to 160. This is due to limitation to single postscript page (256 characters). West european languages (latin1) and polish should be covered Currently the table of character names is stored in the code. It should be better to create such table when the vector font is read in (at program startup or when needed?). To do this, each font definition file should include character name (as ntilde in file n_-tilde.sym). I am planing to do this but this requires some time to analyze the existing code.
