.SH FILES
|
|
.TP
|
|
Mapping files like 8859-1.txt
|
|
.br
|
|
Antiword looks for its mapping files in three directories, in the order given:
|
|
.br
|
|
(1) The directory specified by $ANTIWORDHOME
|
|
.br
|
|
(2) The directory specified by $HOME/.antiword
|
|
.br
|
|
(3) Directory /usr/share/antiword
|
|
.TP
|
|
The fontnames file
|
|
.br
|
|
Antiword will look for its fontname file in the same directories as used for the
|
|
mapping files.
|
|
.br
|
|
The fontnames file contains the translation table from font names used by MS
|
|
Word to font names used by PostScript.
|
|
.TP
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
.br
|
|
Antiword cannot tell the difference between a file that does not exist and a
|
|
file that cannot be opened for reading.
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
Antiword uses the environment variable ``ANTIWORDHOME'' as the first directory
|
|
to look for its files. Antiword uses the environment variable ``HOME'' to find
|
|
the user's home directory. When in text mode it uses the variable ``COLUMNS''
|
|
to set the width of the output (unless overridden by the -w option).
|
|
|
|
Antiword uses the environment variables ``LC_ALL'', ``LC_CTYPE'' and ``LANG''
|
|
(in that order) to get the current locale and uses this information to
|
|
select the default mapping file.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Antiword is far from complete. Many features are still missing. Many images are
|
|
not shown yet. Some of the images that are shown, are shown in the wrong place.
|
|
PostScript output is only available in ISO 8859-1 and ISO 8859-2.
