Converting text to PDF with a2ps
Most Linux/Unix systems include the a2ps utility, which can pretty-print text files into PostScript or PDF. Unfortunately, the default a2ps setup isn't very iLiad-friendly, particularly in its selection of fonts that are hard to read on the iLiad's screen.
I've put together a small package that enhances a2ps's settings for printing to PDF for the iLiad. It uses the Bera font family (Bitstream Vera in Type1), which I find much easier to read on the iLiad.
If you have suggestions, especially on how to get a2ps to work more easily with extra fonts, please let me know!
