enscript

I recently came across GNU enscript and found it to be a reliable and efficient tool for converting ASCII files to PostScript. The software comes packed with several features that make it stand out among other similar converters. Not only can it convert files and save them to a file or send them directly to the printer, but it also has the ability to "pretty-print" in several programming languages.

One of the most notable features I found was its support for ten different input encodings. Additionally, it supports Adobe Font Metrics files and includes user-defined fancy headers. The package even includes AFM files for the most common PostScript fonts for convenience. Furthermore, enscript can download PostScript fonts in case your project requires special fonts.

I particularly enjoyed enscript's language-sensitive highlighting feature. It also has N-up printing and can support inlined EPS images, making it an all-in-one tool that can solve all your text conversion needs. Another excellent feature is its ability to add comments and change body color and font on the fly.

Enscript supports a wide range of character sets, including ISO Latin1, ISO Latin2, ISO Latin3, ISO Cyrillic, ISO Greek, and several others. It also supports standard PC/DOS character sets, Macintosh character sets, VMS multinational charset, HP Roman-8 charset, Adobe Standard Cyrillic Font KOI8 charset, PostScript font's default encoding, and PostScript interpreter's `ISOLatin1Encoding'. This means that you don't have to worry about compatibility issues when using the software.

Overall, I would highly recommend GNU enscript to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich text conversion tool. Its various features and added benefits make it an essential tool for anyone who works with ASCII files that require conversion to PostScript.
