There are other similar utilities, but they do not and did not, for decades, support Unicode characters. That is major problem that I find. Generating PDF files is difficult without Unicode in ever evolving world of 2023. Maybe See the options for See the options for Those cards have been prepared with Both programs have excellent features. Such as having the frame on the page, or nicer, more visible title. |

Another useful idea is Pango markup itself, as For example, in Emacs, there is Org mode, and Org mode supports now hundred(s) various outputs. But not Pango markup, it would be good idea to create Pango markup output for Org mode and then use Paps to generate .ps and .pdf files. Common Lisp already supports Pango markup: Pango Markup: I am not sure if the following is the reference to Pango markup: Pango – 1.0: Text Attributes and Markup: Emacs has the Enriched text mode, which could then be used to translate to Pango markup and get fancy PDF files. |

A feature I would like to have is possibility to include picture as full background picture of the page, including different background pictures for different pages. Sounds complex, I know.

I think that is outside the scope of paps. If you are using org-mode, which is one of the typical use cases for creating documents from emacs, you can already export to pdf through LaTeX or via html. Your idea about static images below the text does make sense though. |

I run the command: It produces good results; the command was suggested to me using "palatino" for a fontname. One irony is that when I search I do not find a palatino file on my computers. Enscript has a file of usable fontnames; the list is viewable by issuing the following command: Is there a way of listing which fonts/fontnames are usable by paps? Much thanks, Max |
