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!
