Using xetops and xutops Utilities

The xetops and xutops utilities produce bitmapped graphics as printed images. Traditional Chinese software includes the xetops and xutops utilities so any system can print Traditional Chinese text on a PostScript printer. The xetops utility in EUC locale and xutops Utility in UTF--8 locale may no longer be supported in the future.

• xetops handles EUC or BIG5files in the zh_TW and zh_TW.BIG5locales respectively.

• xutops handles files in the zh_TW.UTF-8 locale

Using xetops and xutops is described in Traditional Chinese Solaris User's Guide, in the chapter "Traditional Chinese Printing Facilities," and in the xetops(1) and xutops(1) man pages.

A typical command line for printing a file named filename containing Traditional Chinese characters with xetops, would be as follows:

system% pr filename | xetops | lp 

The syntax for xutops is similar:

system% pr filename | xutops | lp 

Make filename the name of the file to print. This file can contain ASCII/English characters as well as Traditional Chinese.
