To be honestly, when we started some years ago to port our library automation system from ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8 support (in all layers, database, servers and application frontends) we bothered a lot with UTF-8 support in all affected areas, as well in print-outs of all type of letters, listings, statistics etc. A good starting point to get understanding for all those aspects is the UTF-8/Unicode FAQ for UNIX: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html There is as well a chapter about printing which points to CUPS. The supported languages (Codepoints) in the provided fonts are still very limited, but extendable and open. matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: www.asciiribbon.org E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards
