DESCRIPTION¶
Cedilla is a text printer that uses Unicode internally and will make heroic efforts to find or design suitable glyphs for exotic or rare characters.

- -fs fontset
- Use the list of fonts specified by fontset. The set of available fontsets is listed in the file /etc/cedilla-config.lisp.
- -p papersize
- Use the paper size specified by papersize (default A4). The set of available paper sizes is listed in the file /etc/cedilla-config.lisp.
- -s size
- Set the font size to size points (default 11).
- -bs baselineskip
- Separate lines by baselineskip (by default, equal to size).
- -w

- -h header
- Set the header format to header. See HEADER AND FOOTER FORMATS below.
- -hb header-baseline
- Set the header's baseline to be at a distance of header-baseline (default 1cm) of the top of the page. The argument must be a number in points.

FILES¶
- /etc/cedilla-config.lisp
- the system-wide configuration file for Cedilla.
HEADER AND FOOTER FORMAT¶
The format passed to the -h and -f options is of the form
- [left,]center[,right]
- where left, center and right are strings that may contain any of the following sequences:
- %% typeset a percent sign
- %, typeset a comma
- %p typeset the page number as an Arabic number
- %P typeset the page number in words
- %r typeset the page number as a small Roman number
- %R typeset the page number as a Roman number
NOTES¶
By design, Cedilla only accepts input data in UTF-8. You are expected to use an external converter such as iconv(1) or luit(1) in order to print text encoded in a legacy encoding.
Cedilla is unable to print data that comes from a pipe; this is unavoidable, as Cedilla makes two passes over its input file.
