.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B  uniprint
is a program from the yudit package. It makes a formatted poscript 
output that can be saved or directly sent to the printer.
The program needs TrueType/OpenType/CFF fonts that have Unicode table 
in order  to operate.
.sp
If you are running Linux you most probably have Unicode TrueType/OpenType fonts
in /usr/share/fonts directory.
.sp
The postcript output contains all information needed to draw glyps. 
No fonts are needed on the printer side.
You may encounter problems with old ghostview or old printers. 
.LP
