I am trying to create with enscript a PDF source code listing of this Python script:
import numpy as np
def f1(x):
return x * x * np.sin(x)
however I am getting this output:
I am using this command line:
enscript --filter="cat %s | iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1" -v -rG --font="Consolas@12" --highlight=python -o - -M Letter --color=0 -X 88591 --non-printable-format=octal -O test_enscript.py | ps2pdf - a.pdf

It looks like the space is not mapped correctly to the iso-8859 encoding. I have installed the Consolas font files as explained here. After some investigations, I found that the problem seems to be that TrueType fonts like Consolas do not define a character for code U+0020 (0x20 space). I am not a font expert, but this seems weird. Any ideas about how to fix it?
