I tend to disagree here. The format of the font does not matter: just the way of hooking up fonts in dvipdfmx.cfg matters here, I think. > There is a project called ptexlive in Japan which extends > many standards TeX tools (like updmap etc.) to support fonts > for pTeX, which implys one can't use updmap for pTeX fonts. > > In fact TFM for pTeX is not a standard TFM but modified version > of TFM (called JFM) and VF for pTeX is also in the same situation. Just as above: not the format of the font is important, but the fact that it needs a few entries in dvipdfmx.cfg. > But dvipdfmx is very special in this point of view.

I didn't know this. That is indeed an option. Best regards -- Danai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
