[iapscsud] Enscript fonts

Images of all the fonts built into enscript (version 1.6.5.90-2), as rendered by ghostscript (version 9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.2), using gsfonts (version 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.2ubuntu1). Some notes:

• Something has gone wrong for entire Helvetica family, except Helvetica Narrow *, causing the justification to be wrong.
• /var/lib/ghostscript/fonts/Fontmap gives a mapping from Postscript name fonts to the substitute fonts used by Ghostscript. This substitution system is probably a bad idea: what if the font metrics as specified by enscript do not agree with the font metrics of the substitute font?
• The Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts require specifying the PS encoding (via the -X flag) instead the default 8859-1 encoding.
• Symbol and Zapf Dingbats do not have characters at 0360 and 0377 (octal).
• The overbar over alpha in Symbol is actually the previous character, the radical extender.
• The font metric files (/usr/share/enscript/afm) suggest there are more characters than enscript can get at.
• Someday, print all the kerning pairs listed in the *.afm files.
• The Matrix font is a thing of beauty. Each dot is shifted by a random number generated invoked within the Postscript code for the font.
• Source code of the script used to generate these images.
