JPEGView, by Aaron Giles, is a flexible image utility designed to allow quick, high-quality viewing of the most
common image formats, including JPEG, JFIF, GIF, PICT, Baseline and LZW-compressed TIFF, Windows BMP,
StartupScreen, and MacPaint.
JPEGView can also convert between QuickTime JPEG and JFIF-standard JPEG files.
Version 3.0 added a number of substantial new features, including full AppleScript support, new high-quality
dithering routines, a greatly improved slide show, floating windows, etc.
JPEGView is now distributed only as a "fat binary", i.e. a program containing both 68K and Power PC code, thereby
enabling it to run flat-out on both normal Macintoshes and the new Power Macintoshes.

Text characters in an RTF file may be specified as literal characters or using \'xx notation, where xx is the hex value of the character. RTF files also contain a control word that specifies the character set that's used within the document and governs the interpretation of character values. The charset control words are:
\ansi ANSI (default) - Used by Word for Windows \mac Apple Macintosh \pc IBM PC \pca IBM PC page 850, used by IBM Personal System/2
Although the four charsets don't appear to differ for characters in the ASCII range (below 128), they differ considerably above the ASCII range (128-255). For example, the ANSI, Macintosh, and PC charsets represent the degree sign ("deg.") as \'b0, \'a1, and \'f8 respectively. Furthermore, even for a given charset, character values in the Symbol font represent different characters than they do generally. For example "a" in Symbol font is the greek letter alpha.
rtftohtml uses a translation model that divides translation into two parts. When the RTF file is read each character is mapped to an standard character name. This mapping is controlled by the files:
ansi-gen Input mapping for ANSI, all fonts except symbol ansi-sym Input mapping for ANSI, symbol font mac-gen Input mapping for Macintosh, all fonts except symbol mac-sym Input mapping for Macintosh, symbol font pc-gen Input mapping for IBM PC, all fonts except symbol pc-sym Input mapping for IBM PC, symbol font pca-gen Input mapping for IBM PS2, all fonts except symbol pca-sym Input mapping for IBM PS2,, symbol font
General and symbol charset maps are stored in the text files ansi-gen, ansi-sym, mac-gen, mac-sym, pc-gen, pc-sym, pca-gen, and pca-sym. Each line of a charset file associates an RTF character value (field 2) with the standard character name to which the RTF character corresponds (field 1). Here's a sample from ansi-gen:
parenleft ( parenright ) space " " quotedbl '"' quoteright "'" quoteleft "`" a a b b c c bullet 0x95 emdash 0x96 endash 0x97
Character values may be given as a single character (in which case the ASCII value is used), or as a hex number 0xyy. Single or double quotes may be used to quote values containing whitespace or quotes (e.g., use single quotes to quote a double-quote).
Lines with a "#" in column one are taken as comments. Comments and blank lines are ignored.
When the HTML file is written, each standard character name is mapped to an ascii string. This mapping is controlled by the file html-map. The format of this file is
(i) field 1 is the standard character name, just as in the charset maps;
(ii) field 2 is the output sequence to produce for the character named in field 1
Lines with a "#" in column one are taken as comments. Comments and blank lines are ignored.
Here's part of the html-map file:
a a b b c c ampersand & less < equal = greater > trademark (TM) AE Æ Aacute Á Acircumflex Â
\ansi ansi-gen and ansi-sym \pc pc-gen and pc-sym \mac mac-gen and mac-sym \pca pca-gen and pca-sym
1) Detemine what character set you are using as described above.
2) find the character code in your source and determine what it looks like when it is displayed by your word processor. Also check to see if it is a character in the symbol font.
3) Add \'e4 to the input translation file:
If you are using ansi and the character code is in the symbol font then you should edit ansi-sym and add:
somename 0xe4The name that you use depends on what e4 looks like on your screen. If it is a bullet, then use
bullet 0xe4This tells the filter to treat this character code as a bullet.
The complete list of standard character names is here:
describing what to output for a bullet. For example:
bullet *
