Configuring GhostScript for CJK CID/TTF fonts ============================================= This script searches a list of directories for CJK fonts, and makes them available to an installed GhostScript. In the simplest case with sufficient privileges, a run without arguments should effect in a complete setup of GhostScript. Usage ----- ````` [perl] cjk-gs-integrate[.pl] [OPTIONS] ````` #### Options #### ````` -n, --dry-run do not actually output anything --remove try to remove instead of create -f, --fontdef FILE specify alternate set of font definitions, if not given, the built-in set is used -o, --output DIR specifies the base output dir, if not provided, the Resource directory of an installed GhostScript is searched and used. -a, --alias LL=RR defines an alias, or overrides a given alias; illegal if LL is provided by a real font, or RR is neither available as real font or alias; can be given multiple times --filelist FILE read list of available font files from FILE instead of searching with kpathsea --link-texmf [DIR] link fonts into DIR/fonts/opentype/cjk-gs-integrate and DIR/fonts/truetype/cjk-gs-integrate where DIR defaults to TEXMFLOCAL --machine-readable output of --list-aliases is machine readable --force do not bail out if linked fonts already exist -q, --quiet be less verbose -d, --debug output debug information, can be given multiple times -v, --version outputs only the version information -h, --help this help ````` #### Command like options #### ````` --only-aliases do only regenerate the cidfmap.alias file instead of all --list-aliases lists the available aliases and their options, with the selected option on top --list-all-aliases list all possible aliases without searching for actually present files --list-fonts lists the fonts found on the system --info combines the above two information ````` Operation --------- For each found TrueType (TTF) font it creates a cidfmap entry in /Init/cidfmap.local and links the font to /CIDFSubst/ For each CID font it creates a snippet in /Font/ and links the font to /CIDFont/ The `` dir is either given by `-o`/`--output`, or otherwise searched from an installed GhostScript (binary name is assumed to be 'gs'). Aliases are added to /Init/cidfmap.aliases Finally, it tries to add runlib calls to /Init/cidfmap to load the cidfmap.local and cidfmap.aliases. How and which directories are searched -------------------------------------- Search is done using the kpathsea library, in particular using kpsewhich program. By default the following directories are searched: - all TEXMF trees - `/Library/Fonts`, `/Library/Fonts/Microsoft`, `/System/Library/Fonts`, `/Network/Library/Fonts`, and `~/Library/Fonts` (all if available) - `c:/windows/fonts` (on Windows) - the directories in `OSFONTDIR` environment variable In case you want to add some directories to the search path, adapt the `OSFONTDIR` environment variable accordingly: Example: ````` OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts/truetype//:/usr/local/share/fonts/opentype//" $prg ````` will result in fonts found in the above two given directories to be searched in addition. Output files ------------ If no output option is given, the program searches for a GhostScript interpreter 'gs' and determines its Resource directory. This might fail, in which case one need to pass the output directory manually. Since the program adds files and link to this directory, sufficient permissions are necessary. Aliases ------- Aliases are managed via the Provides values in the font database. At the moment entries for the basic font names for CJK fonts are added: Japanese: Ryumin-Light GothicBBB-Medium FutoMinA101-Bold FutoGoB101-Bold Jun101-Light Korean: HYGoThic-Medium HYSMyeongJo-Medium Simplified Chinese: STSong-Light STHeiti-Regular STHeiti-Light STKaiti-Regular Traditional Chinese: MSung-Light MHei-Medium MKai-Medium In addition, we also include provide entries for the OTF Morisawa names: RyuminPro-Light GothicBBBPro-Medium FutoMinA101Pro-Bold FutoGoB101Pro-Bold Jun101Pro-Light The order is determined by the Provides setting in the font database, and for the Japanese fonts it is currently: Morisawa Pr6, Morisawa, Hiragino ProN, Hiragino, Yu OSX, Yu Win, Kozuka ProN, Kozuka, IPAex, IPA That is, the first font found in this order will be used to provide the alias if necessary. #### Overriding aliases #### Using the command line option `--alias LL=RR` one can add arbitrary aliases, or override ones selected by the program. For this to work the following requirements of `LL` and `RR` must be fulfilled: * `LL` is not provided by a real font * `RR` is available either as real font, or as alias (indirect alias) Authors, Contributors, and Copyright ------------------------------------ The script and its documentation was written by Norbert Preining, based on research and work by Yusuke Kuroki, Bruno Voisin, Munehiro Yamamoto and the TeX Q&A wiki page.
