<p class="abstract">
The DVIPDFM<i>x</i> project basically does not offer pre-compiled binary packages.

<abbr title="Concurrent Version System">CVS</abbr> repository
is also available: You can update your local copy of DVIPDFMx source code via following commands:

<p>
To compile dvipdfmx, you need at least the kpathsea library which is used for finding location of
various resource files, and dvipdfmx won't work without this library properly installed.
Kpathsea library version heigher than 3.3 is recommended.

In addition to this, the
<a title="Go To Zlib Homepage" href="http://www.gzip.org/zlib/">zlib</a>
data-compression library is required for compression support.
Both zlib and
<a title="Go To Libpng Homepage" href="http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html">libpng</a>
library is required for reading <abbr title="Portable Network Graphics">PNG</abbr> format image files.
Dvipdfmx optionally support <span>libpaper</span> library for handling paper sizes.
Please read <span class="file"><a href="README">README</a></span> file for more details.

<div class="important">
<!--[if IE]><p>Important Note:</p><![endif]-->
<p   class="note">
Default search path for various resource files required by dvipdfmx, namely
<abbr>SFD</abbr>, CMap, and OpenType font files, may be different in recent
installation of TeX, and dvipdfmx may fail to find those files if you update kpathsea library and dvipdfmx
without adjusting existing <code>texmf</code> directory structure.
In this case, please follow the instruction described
in the section <cite><q>TeX Directory Structure (TDS)</q></cite>

<h2 id="sec-features">Features</h2>

<p class="abstract">
Most features and enhancement added to <span>dvipdfm</span> is related to multi-byte encoding
and font support, especially for supporting <abbr title="Chinese Japanese Korean">CJK</abbr> languages.
</p>


<h3>Font and Encoding</h3>

<p>
Dvipdfmx supports various encodings in rather unintuitive way (due to various reasons).
For 8-bits encodings, it supports <q><code>.enc</code></q> format glyph encoding
file (used by <code>dvips</code> program) with few extensions undocumented here and
<q>remapping</q> of a set of 8-bit encoded TeX fonts to a single double-byte font with
<abbr title="Subfont Definition">SFD</abbr> file support. And it can also support various
multibyte encodings (excluding state-full encoding) by loading PostScript CMap resource.
Not all encodings are supported depending on format of font to be used.
</p>

<p>
The following font formats are supported:
</p>

<ul>
  <li><div class="item">PostScript Type1</div>
      <p class="desc">
      PostScript Type1 format font is supported as in dvipdfm,
      but they are converted to <abbr title="Compact Font Format">CFF</abbr>
      format (for reducing <abbr>PDF</abbr> file size when compression is enabled)
      and always embedded as a font subset. Currently usable only with
      8-bit encodings. 
      Multiple-Master font is not supported yet.
      </p>
  </li>
  <li><div class="item">OpenType</div>
      <p class="desc">
      All flavours of OpenType fonts is supported: OpenType font with PostScript
      outline, TrueType outline, and as <abbr>CID</abbr>Font in an OpenType
      <q>wrapper</q>. However, as dvipdfmx is <em>not</em> a text manipulation
      program nor layout program, it supports only a part of OpenType features;
      partial support for OpenType <code>GSUB</code> Layout table just enough
      for supporting vertical writing, some of ligatures, small-caps, and so on.
      </p>
  </li>
  <li><div class="item">TrueType</div>
      <p class="desc">
      Both TrueType and <abbr title="TrueType Collection">TTC</abbr> format is supported.
      There are several enhancement to dvipdfm including font subsetting.
      They may be embedded as a TrueType font or as a <code>CIDFontType</code> 2 CIDFont.
      </p>
  </li>
</ul>


<h3>PDF Encryption</h3>

<p>
Encrypted <abbr>PDF</abbr> files can be generated if the <code>-S</code>
option is given. The key bits (40-128 bits) and the permission flags are
specified either in the configuration file <code>dvipdfmx.cfg</code> or
with command line options <code>-K</code> (for key bits)
and <code>-P</code> (for permission flags).
</p>

<h3>Graphics Support</h3>

<p>
All graphics format supported in dvipdfm is also supported in dvipdfmx
with few improvement:
A little enhancement on <abbr>PDF</abbr> inclusion (can handle dvipdfm
output <abbr>PDF</abbr>).
Improved <abbr title="Portable Network Graphics">PNG</abbr> support;
alpha channel and <code>tRNS</code> chunk is fully supported.
Indexed-color image is no longer converted to 24-bit
<abbr title="Red Green Blue">RGB</abbr> color image.
Experimental embedded
<abbr title="International Color Consortium">ICC</abbr> profile
support for <abbr title="Joint Photographic Experts Group">JPEG</abbr>
and <abbr>PNG</abbr> format images.
Windows <abbr>BMP</abbr> format is also supported in dvipdfmx.
</p>

<p>
Nearly arbitrary graphics format can be supported with the help of external
program as long as they can be translated into single page <abbr>PDF</abbr>
<q>image</q> (like dvipdfm).
There are few improvement on interpreting and translating PostScript code
inserted with <code>\special</code> command or read from MetaPost output
PostScript files. But there are still many limitations and restrictions.
</p>

<h2 id="sec-examples">Examples</h2>

<p class="abstract">
Sample outputs of dvipdfmx is available from the <span class="file"><a href="sample">sample/</a></span>
directory of the <a href=".">dvipdfmx project site</a>.
</p>

<p class="annot">
Some of examples presented in this section contains embedded
<abbr>CJK</abbr> TrueType fonts. You need a <abbr>PDF</abbr> viewer supporting
at least PDF version 1.3. For printing with PostScript printers,
you may need <abbr>CID</abbr>-keyed font supporting printer,
depending on how PDF files are converted to PostScript format.
