16 | The tiny Perl-script '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' converts <tt>.sfd</tt> files (as used by
|
---|
17 | CJK-LaTeX) to <tt>.map</tt> files (as used by ttf2pt1).
|
---|
18 | <p>
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | Actually I currently don't use that script stand-alone for performance
|
---|
21 | reasons.
|
---|
22 | <p>
|
---|
23 |
|
---|
24 | Currently I use such a conversion in another small script '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>'
|
---|
25 | (attached as well) which creates <tt>.tfm</tt> files usable with CJK-LaTeX
|
---|
26 | from TrueType fonts as listed in <tt>/etc/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map</tt>. When called like
|
---|
27 | <br>
|
---|
28 | <tt>cjk-latex-config --type1</tt>
|
---|
29 | <br>
|
---|
30 | this script will use ttf2pt1 to generate <tt>.pfb</tt> files as well from these TrueType
|
---|
31 | fonts to be used with CJK-LaTeX.
|
---|
32 | <p>
|
---|
33 |
|
---|
34 | The <tt>.sfd</tt> files cannot be directly used as input to ttf2pt1 because the
|
---|
35 | format of the <tt>.map</tt> files which ttf2pt1 expects is slightly different,
|
---|
36 | therefore I made the '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' converter script.
|
---|
37 | <p>
|
---|
38 |
|
---|
39 | But then I noticed that I would have to parse the generated map file
|
---|
40 | *again* to get a list of the plane numbers to use. That seemed to be a
|
---|
41 | bit wastful because I had just parsed the <tt>.sfd</tt> file to convert it to
|
---|
42 | <tt>.map</tt>, therefore I included <tt>sfd2map</tt> as a function in '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>'
|
---|
43 | as well and collected the plane numbers during the conversion.
|
---|
44 | <p>
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | But '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>' is maybe a little bit SuSE specific, therefore
|
---|
47 | I kept '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' also as a standalong script. Use it if you like.
|
---|
48 | <p>
|
---|
49 |
|
---|
50 | '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>' calls another small script '<tt>cjk-latex-t1mapgen</tt>'
|
---|
51 | to generate a <tt>cjk-latex.map</tt> file containing something like
|
---|
52 | <br>
|
---|
53 | <tt> cyberb00 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-00 <cyberb00.pfb</tt>
|
---|
54 | <br>
|
---|
55 | <tt> cyberb01 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-01 <cyberb01.pfb</tt>
|
---|
56 | <br>
|
---|
57 | <tt> cyberb02 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-02 <cyberb02.pfb</tt>
|
---|
58 | <br>
|
---|
59 | <tt> [...]</tt>
|
---|
60 | <br>
|
---|
61 | after all <tt>.pfb</tt> files have been generated.
|
---|
62 | <p>
|
---|
63 |
|
---|
64 | Maybe this is also SuSE specific, I'm not sure about in what
|
---|
65 | directories the relevant files are stored on other Linux-like systems.
|
---|
66 | <p>
|
---|
67 |
|
---|
68 | I'm not yet sure whether they work on other systems beside SuSE Linux.
|
---|
69 | They have hard coded path names where to find the TrueType fonts,
|
---|
70 | <tt>ttfonts.map</tt>, the TeX fonts etc and <tt>cjk-latex-config</tt> checks
|
---|
71 | whether freetype-tools.rpm is installed. freetype-tools.rpm might
|
---|
72 | have another name for other distributions and for distributions
|
---|
73 | which don't use rpm this check can't work anyway.
|
---|
74 | <p>
|
---|
75 |
|
---|
76 | These are small details and it should not be difficult to adapt the
|
---|
77 | scripts for other Linux-like systems though.
