File: handwrite.el.html
The function handwrite creates PostScript output containing a
handwritten version of the current buffer.
Other functions that may be useful are:
handwrite-10pt: set the font size to 10 and find corresponding
values for the line spacing and the number of lines
on a page.
handwrite-11pt: which is similar
handwrite-12pt: which is also similar
handwrite-13pt: which is similar, too
handwrite-set-pagenumber: set and unset page numbering
If you are not satisfied with the type page there are a number of
variables you may want to set.
To use this, say M-x handwrite or type at your prompt
"emacs -l handwrite.el".
I tried to make it iso_8859_1-friendly, but there are some exotic
characters missing.
Known bugs:
- Page feeds do not work, and are ignored instead.
- Tabs are not always properly displayed.
- Handwrite may create corrupt PostScript if it encounters
unknown characters.
Thanks to anyone who emailed me suggestions!
