trscripts

Scripts for reencoding text files and BDF-fonts

Description

The script `trbdf' can convert a BDF font from one codeset to another.

The script `trcs' reencodes text files from one codeset to another. It can generate scripts for `tr'. For example the command

trcs --from cp1252 --to latin1 --gen-script

gives you the following output:

#!/bin/sh

trap "exit 0" PIPE

cat "$@" | tr \

'\200''\201''\202''\203''\204''\205''\206''\207''\210''\211''\212'\

'\213''\214''\215''\216''\217''\220''\221''\222''\223''\224''\225'\

'\226''\227''\230''\231''\232''\233''\234''\235''\236''\237' \

'\105''\77''\47''\146''\42''\267''\53''\77''\136''\77''\123'\

'\253''\117''\77''\132''\77''\77''\47''\47''\42''\42''\267'\

'\-''\-''\176''\77''\163''\273''\157''\77''\172''\131'

Both scripts try to approximate the missing from the target codeset symbols.

It is easy to add support of other character sets.
