  • Bug#1109154: gpg-key2ps can't display UTF-8 in key uid name

    From xiao sheng wen@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 12 17:30:01 2025

    Hi,

    When I use:

    gpg-key2ps -1 -p a4 [email protected] | gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf

    My Chinese name in uid display question mark.

    I tested use only "gpg-key2 [email protected]", I also find it's question mark
    in it's output.

    Is gpg-key2ps support UTF-8 well?


    Thanks!

    AFAIK not and that tool is no longer maintained, I should probably add a deprecation warning in the manual page.

    I'd suggest to use gpg-key2latex(1) instead (also from signing-party)
    and use XeLaTeX to convert LaTeX output to PDF. I'm not familiar enough
    with Postscript and wrote gpg-key2latex(1) to workaround that particular
    issue with gpg-key2ps(1), plus other issues such as as feature requests
    for photo IDs and QR codes. gpg-key2latex(1) is still supported :-)
