This is the README file of the mincho-0-12-20080306.tar.gz package. The original font file is ftp://ftp.ipl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Font/wadalab-mincho-0-12.8.tar.Z which can be also found at CTAN as support/ghostscript/3rdparty/fonts/kanji/Font/wadalab-mincho-0-12.8.tar.gz It has been first converted with a patched version of the program `wftodm', then with the scripts `makefont' (version 1.0) and `fixwada2.pl' to produce a set of PFB, AFM, and TFM subfont files in DNP font encoding which can be used with the CJK package for LaTeX. The script `makeuniwada.pl' has been used to create virtual fonts which provide Unicode font encoding; all those scripts are part of the CJK package. The half-width katakana glyphs have been derived from the full-width forms of Wadalab Gothic (in file `dgjkata.pfb'); FontForge was used to edit the glyphs and create the PFB, AFM, and TFM files. To make the virtual font for UTF-8 encoding, `clonevf.pl' from the CJK package was used to make a mapped copy (to itself) of `dmjhw.tfm'. The VF file was converted to VPL, and the entries modified to reflect a mapping from UTF-8 to SJIS. Then they were added, along with a reference to the mapped font, to the VPL version of the existing Wadalab `udmjff.vf'. Then new VF and TFM files were created from `udmjff.vpl'. Note that `dmjhw.pfb' is simply a copy of `dgjhw.pfb'. This font package follows the TDS directory structure; the font family names for DNP and Unicode font encodings are `dmj' and `udmj', respectively. Note that you need the mincho-1-8-20080306.tar.gz font bundle to access the level 3 kanji -- this isn't a good fit (mincho 8 is a lighter face than mincho 12) but better than nothing. Please read the documentation file `contrib/wadalab/DNP.doc' of the CJK package for further details on installation and usage; there you can also find a proper font mapping file and font definition files for use with LaTeX.
