KPCAL(1)KPCAL(1)NAMEkpcal - generate Kanji PostScript calendars
SYNOPSISkpcal [ -a<ASCIIFont> ] [ -k<KANJIFont> ] [ -t<TITLEFont> ] [ -n<NUM‐
BERFont> ] [ -e| -f<cal> ] [ <month> [ <year> ]]
DESCRIPTION
Kpcal generates PostScript to produce landscape calendars for any month
and year. The arguments <month> and <year>, if provided, should be
numeric. The month should be in the range 1 - 12, and year should be
specified as 1 or 2 digits or as the full 4 digit year. The defaults
for month and year are the current month and year.
If a file named calendar resides in the callers home directory, it will
be searched for lines with leading dates matching the requested month
and year (current by default). Any text following the date will be
printed on the calendar under the appropriate day of the month. Dates
in the calendar file may consist of a numeric or alpha month (at least
the first 3 characters for month names) followed by a numeric day and
optionally followed by a year. Any non-numeric character may separate
numeric dates. Lines in the calendar file consisting of "year xxxx"
(where xxxx is a numeric year) can be used to set the year for follow‐
ing entries. This assumes that the following entries do not contain a
year ,and that the calendar file written in JIS Code. Any date entries
containing year information will set the remembered year to that year.
Kpcal has six options:
-e Print an empty calendar. Do not print entries from a calendar
file.
-f<cal>
Directs kpcal to use the file name <cal> as the input file in
place of the default calendar file in the callers home direc‐
tory.
-a<ASCIIFont>
use the font <ASCII Font> for printing ASCII characters in mes‐
sages of the day. The default is Times-Roman.
-k<KANJIFont>
use the font <KANJI Font> for printing KANJI characters in mes‐
sages of the day. The default is Ryumin-Light-H.
-n<NUMBERFont>
use the font <NUMBER Font> for printing day numbers. The
default is Helvetica-Bold.
-t<TITLEFont>
use the font <TITLE Font> for printing titles. The default is
Times-Bold.
