HylaFax and Unicode text

Byetzion

To be able to fax a text file containing Unicode (especially non-English characters), a suggestion can be found in this mailing-list post. I could not use it, though, because my Unicode text had ASCII-art-tables, and the printing process forced using variable font. I was unable to convert the text to an encoding (using iconv or uniconv) fit for a fixed-size font I’ve had available.

I’ve managed to print the text to PDF finally, which then I was able to fax as I pleased. Unfortunately, I am unable to state the tools used for this task. Sorry.

As you can see in my previous posts, I have an NVidia card. It worked quite well while using XGL, but due to XGL’s memory consumption (it takes a lot of memory), I have decided to try for AIGLX, which is part of the X.org system. In my previous post you can see that (and…
