It would be nice for those things to continue to be supported, -if anyone is looking for some nontrivial but not-impossible job and -happens across this file. - - -1. Introduction - ------------ - - The dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) project provides an eXtended version - of the dvipdfm, a DVI to PDF translator developed by Mark A. Wicks. - - The primary goal of this project is to support multi-byte character - encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages. The secondary - goal is to support as many features as pdfTeX developed by Han The Thanh. - - This project is a combined work of the dvipdfm-jpn project by Shunsaku - Hirata and its modified one, dvipdfm-kor, by Jin-Hwan Cho. - - -2. Installation - ------------ - - Currently, dvipdfmx is distributed as part of TeX Live. For TeX Live users, - please refer to the following site - - https://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/ - - for an instruction on how to obtain and build the dvipdfmx program. - -3. Random number generating function - --------------------------------- - - Prefixes of font names are calculated by using a function which - generates pseudo random numbers. In order to obtain a unique - prefix on all platforms when current time is common, a special - function MT19937, coded by Takuji Nishimura and Makoto Matsumoto, - is used. The header of the C program by Takuji Nishimura and - Makoto Matsumoto is the following: - - A C-program for MT19937, with initialization improved 2002/1/26. - Coded by Takuji Nishimura and Makoto Matsumoto. - - Before using, initialize the state by using init_genrand(seed) - or init_by_array(init_key, key_length). - - Copyright (C) 1997 - 2002, Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura, - All rights reserved. - - Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without - modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions - are met: - - 1.
