<p>Currently, configuration is done both via configuration file (<tt>html2ps.config</tt>)
and configuration constants inside the <tt>config.inc.php</tt> file.

For example, normally 'times' family is mapped to /Times-Roman font. On
the other hand, this standard font does not contain cyrillic symbols, so
when one of the cyrillic encodings is met, 'times' will be mapped to /TimesCyr-Medium.</td>

similar to
<pre>
