If you set the following X defaults (I can't remember if all these are
necessary):
- Tgif.UsePsAdobeString: 3.0/3.0
- Tgif.HalfToneBitmap: true
- Tgif.BitmapThreshold: 0.5
- Tgif.TiffEPSI: true (<-- don't need this
if you are running tgif-4.x)
and you print into EPSI format, you will get an EPS file which can
be used in Windows. I've tried this with Word and it seemed to work!
With this setting, before the EPS file is generated, tgif generates an
XBM representation of the file and look at the Tgif.XbmToTiff X default
to convert the XBM file to a TIFF file. A small header is then prepend to
the EPS file and the TIFF file is appended to the EPS file to generate
a DOS/Windows EPS file. The default Tgif.XbmToTiff X default is:
- Tgif.XbmToTiff: xbmtopbm %s | pnmtotiff -none > %s
Xbmtopbm and pnmtotiff are from the
netpbm toolkit.
Please remember that an EPS file only works when you
print with a PostScript printer!
