<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Scripts to support CJK-LaTeX </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H2> Scripts to support CJK-LaTeX </H2> by Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> <p> The tiny Perl-script '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' converts <tt>.sfd</tt> files (as used by CJK-LaTeX) to <tt>.map</tt> files (as used by ttf2pt1). <p> Actually I currently don't use that script stand-alone for performance reasons. <p> Currently I use such a conversion in another small script '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>' (attached as well) which creates <tt>.tfm</tt> files usable with CJK-LaTeX from TrueType fonts as listed in <tt>/etc/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map</tt>. When called like <br> <tt>cjk-latex-config --type1</tt> <br> this script will use ttf2pt1 to generate <tt>.pfb</tt> files as well from these TrueType fonts to be used with CJK-LaTeX. <p> The <tt>.sfd</tt> files cannot be directly used as input to ttf2pt1 because the format of the <tt>.map</tt> files which ttf2pt1 expects is slightly different, therefore I made the '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' converter script. <p> But then I noticed that I would have to parse the generated map file *again* to get a list of the plane numbers to use. That seemed to be a bit wastful because I had just parsed the <tt>.sfd</tt> file to convert it to <tt>.map</tt>, therefore I included <tt>sfd2map</tt> as a function in '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>' as well and collected the plane numbers during the conversion. <p> But '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>' is maybe a little bit SuSE specific, therefore I kept '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' also as a standalong script. Use it if you like. <p> '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>' calls another small script '<tt>cjk-latex-t1mapgen</tt>' to generate a <tt>cjk-latex.map</tt> file containing something like <br> <tt> cyberb00 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-00 <cyberb00.pfb</tt> <br> <tt> cyberb01 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-01 <cyberb01.pfb</tt> <br> <tt> cyberb02 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-02 <cyberb02.pfb</tt> <br> <tt> [...]</tt> <br> after all <tt>.pfb</tt> files have been generated. <p> Maybe this is also SuSE specific, I'm not sure about in what directories the relevant files are stored on other Linux-like systems. <p> I'm not yet sure whether they work on other systems beside SuSE Linux. They have hard coded path names where to find the TrueType fonts, <tt>ttfonts.map</tt>, the TeX fonts etc and <tt>cjk-latex-config</tt> checks whether freetype-tools.rpm is installed. freetype-tools.rpm might have another name for other distributions and for distributions which don't use rpm this check can't work anyway. <p> These are small details and it should not be difficult to adapt the scripts for other Linux-like systems though. <p> </BODY> </HTML>
