General Purpose PostScript Generating Utility

6.2 Encoding Files

6.2.1 Encoding Map File		Mapping an encoding name to a file name
6.2.2 Encoding Description Files		Specifying an encoding
6.2.3 Some Encodings		Classical or standard encodings

The support of the encodings in a2ps is completely taken out of the code. That is to say, adding, removing or changing anything in its support for an encoding does not require programming, nor even being a programmer.

See section 6.1 What is an Encoding, if you want to know more about this.
