Hello,

Two questions concerning this:

1.
I can only see 'paps' sources itself http://paps.sourceforge.net/ and a lot of mentioned 'texttopaps' filter (esp. in RedHat), but no source for 'texttopaps'; could someone point me please to the sources? Thanks.

2.
I played around with paps 0.6.8 from the above site. But can't print CJK.
The exsample file in the page http://paps.sourceforge.net/small-hello.utf8
is painted fine on my X11 desktop using

$ pango-view small-hello.utf8

but when I run

$ paps small-hello.utf8 > small-hello.ps

Ghostscript just says:

$ gs small-hello.ps

4055652 2768425 1 done.
>>showpage, press <return> to continue<<

and the CJK is not shown (nor printed on Postscript printers). As well
my generated Postscript file is only ~30 Kbytes while the original one
at the page http://paps.sourceforge.net/small-hello.ps is around 90
Kbytes.

Any idea what I am missing here?

Thanks in advance
