(mgp-users 00348) displaying latin[2-4] encodings with truetype fonts

[Yoshifumi Nishida <nishida@csl.sony.co.jp>]

Hi, I developed the test version of magicpoint for displaying latin[2-4] 
encodings with truetype fonts. and I also implemented %charset directive
for this purpose. Currently, I modified only mgp, so mgp2ps cannot 
handle these modification. 

You can use these function as follows,
For example, you can specify truetype font for latin2 encoding, like:

%tfont "fontname" "iso8859-2"

If you don't want to use escape sequence to designate iso8859-2 encoding, 
you can use %charset directive, like:

%charset "iso8859-2"


The test version can be get from:
	ftp://sh.wide.ad.jp/WIDE/free-ware/mgp-snap/mgp-snap-20000717.tar.gz
or 
	ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/CSL/nishida/mgp-latin.tar.gz

And you can get a sample mgp file for this version from:
	ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/CSL/nishida/latin2.mgp

If you're interested, please play with this version.
If you have any problem, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
