To convert a text file to postscript format is easy with groff:groff -Tps file >file.ps But what if the input file is utf-8 (with non English characters in it)? How can you specify the encoding to groff or do you have to pipe the file through some other command?

I have a file of words and want to encode them in a numeric form, based on position.This is best explained by example:
PEOPLE ==> 123152
Reading left to right:
P was first encountered at position 1 so it is encoded as 1.
E was first encountered at position 2 so it is encoded as 2.

There are many plain text files which were encoded in variant charsets.
I want to convert them all to UTF-8, but before running iconv, I need to know its original encoding. Most browsers have an Auto Detect option in encodings, however, I can't check those text files one by one because there are too many.
Only having known the original encoding, I then can convert the texts by iconv -f DETECTED_CHARSET -t utf-8.
Is there any utility to detect the encoding of plain text files? It DOES NOT have to be 100% perfect, I don't mind if there're 100 files misconverted in 1,000,000 files.
how to search in files text that is one-byte encoding? places - search for files in gnome in ubuntu searches only utf-8 text.i know one way: install wine and total commander, then search with it. what are better ways?[URL]
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to convert many text files(copied from windows workstation) into utf-8 encoding file. Yes, iconv is available for it. However, I have to give source file encoding at the command line parameters! The problem is, at most case, I am not sure the source encoding of it. And, I also want to use a script to convert many files recursively.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was working on a text file in open office writer last night, and this morning i tried to open it and a little thing popped up saying "ASCII Filter Options," prompting me for which character set, language and default fonts I wanted to use. (only after it asked if i wanted to recover the document, which i just did since it was asking me...) Now the document, which was very important, is a scrambled bunch of random characters! I cannot find the correct character set. Why is it prompting me for which character encoding I am using in the first place?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI use Linux for my everyday work but lately I've been faced with a trouble when I send out file printouts from my browser from my Debian system to (normally) window$ systems, where they are not readable. Is there a way for me to convert the postscript files into pdf format? Most window$ users will have some sort of pdf reader installed but I am still to find one user that has Ghostscript and Ghostview installed. where can I find the TTF fonts that are shipped with every standard installation of Debian? I'm sometimes forced to print files through a windows system and because the fonts loaded in that system are not the ones I use in Debian (URW Gothic L, as an example) I end up having my official documents disfigured. If I can carry around with me a ready-to-install fonts package I can get over this obstacle.

I want to make a page in postscript or pdf format containing four lines of text and two png images.

I want to crop a postscript poster. it is an A0 size, and I want to crop it into exactly four pieces to print on four A2 pages, pack them in my bag, and go to the conference (actually a long trip). Is there a way to use terminal, to crop this file? I rather use terminal instead of Gimp or other graphical packages.

I use a Dual core desktop PC with Ubuntu 10.10. A hp-laser- jet 4250 printer is connected to it. I am getting able to print all files except .ps and .eps files. When I send a .ps or .eps file for printing, no job is actually reaching to printer.
View 3 Replies View RelatedA day or two ago I saw a weird file in my downloads folder, and deleted it. I'm not sure why I deleted it rather than wondering why there was a weird file there, but anyway...another one has shown up.
name: datetime
type: PS document (application/postscript)
It's an image. The top part of the image shows what I was doing in a terminal last night. The bottom part shows a folder I was browsing in Nautilus. I believe the top and bottom parts are from different times. I'm a little weirded out, it's like something is taking screenshots of what I'm doing. Anyone happen to know what program created these or why?
Updated to CUPS 1.4.3 from printing repository and was getting this while page test printing:

This is probably more for a OpenOffice forum but maybe you can help me to. I have some postscript fonts that i have to use but cant get it to work in OpenOffice..i have installed Ubuntu 10,04 and its working fine, also this Specimen Font Viewer can see that font but i need it in OpenOffice..Is it that the font is postscript type1, or is it that the font is not unicode(its yuscii) and how to solve it if its possible?Is there an alternative to Word processing that can use a font like that and be free?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu Karmic install has a very useful Print-to-File Printer configured which allows me to generate Postscript and PDF files.
I have Windows XP running on Virtualbox and I want to be able to generate PDF files using this printer but there appear to be no Printers configured.
I am using CentOS 5.5 64 bit.
My work requires me to have a lot of postscript files. Hence i have elaborate names for easy identification. For example --- AP-1_Jul-Ctrl-noEqSA_bg25C_precip,U250-150_xy.ps. I am unable to open them using evince. I get a blank evince screen with loading written on it. The same file named as 1.ps opens in a jiffy. As of now evince quickly opens pdf files with long names. But i would not like to convert ps to pdf.
Even kghostview does not open these long-named files.
Apologies if this was asked before -- I have googled the last bytes out of my Firefox but fail to find anything helpful. Here's my problem:I have a foomatic hpijs cups-driver for a HP Inkjet (Non-PS printer) installed. Printing from UNIX-hosts works. I have cups configured not to allow raw-printing (/etc/cups/mime.types: #application/octet-stream, /etc/cups/mime.convs: #application/octet-stream).I have now installed samba-printing, the cups PS-drivers plus the Windows PS-drivers are populated to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/ and get pushed to the WIN-Client.Problem is that when I print from a WINXP client, the printer outputs heaps of Postscript-text instead of my page.I have tried to debug this a bit but fail to find anything really useful. My observations so far:
- The samba-pushed HP_Photosmart_3300.ppd (in both /etc/samba/drivers/... and in the resulting dir on the WINXP client) reads:
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip"

Been using gv and vi to build a postscript file. Now I would like to save the output of the program to a disk file. My problem is I can't figure out how to "print to a file".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed an HP LaserJet 4250 using the hp 4250 postscript driver. The printing works but when I click on File->Print on any application (Open Office or Document Viewer), the message "Getting printer information" is beside the printer name and the print button is disabled. After 5 or so seconds, the print button becomes enabled and I can print. This happens every time but did not when I first installed the printer. I would prefer to determine the cause rather than delete and re-install the printer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFirst and foremost is Avidemux. Somewhere between Fedora 11, 12 and 13 Avidemux lost the capability to encode audio streams in AAC format. I've installed all pertinent packages for it and for AAC, and even though AAC is available to other programs (Banshee, SoundJuicer, etc), alas it is not in Avidemux. I read somewhere that since the newer version of Avidemux now uses a plug-in architecture, support for a lot of formats might be missing as they get ported.
I use Avidemux as usually I rip my DVDs into .mp4 files which I serve up from a Linux box at home and stream them to my PS3, or simply to load a bunch onto my laptop to watch on the move or when I'm on call at the hospital (like I am right now)...
Kind of related to this that I remember not too long ago, I was able to convert a DVD into PSP's mp4 format from DVD::Rip, IIRC directly from the application, but last time I used it, it only seems to have support for AVI, OGM and MPEG container formats. Maybe somthing changed along the way that I'm not aware of.
It looks to boil down to the fact that the package avidemux-plugins from RPMFusion is missing the necessary plugin... I'll go check why is that.
I'm trying to convert Flac audio file to AAC file using command line. It's working fine. Now I want to do the same using fifo And it's freezing.So could you tall me what I'm doing wrong.
