I just recently downloaded the example CID-keyed fonts that were made available by Ken Lunde (author of O'Reilly's _Understanding CJKV_) at ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/pub/examples/nutshell/cjkv/adobe/
In the samples directory there are a bunch of CID-keyed fonts for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, including the relevant AFM files. Lunde also provided the standard CMap files for the following: Adobe-CNS1-4 Adobe-GB1-4 Adobe-Identity-0 Adobe-Japan1-4 Adobe-Japan2-0 Adobe-Korea1-2 What I'm trying to do is install these into my running XFree86 4.2.0 system (on Linux/x86 2.4). I started reading README.fonts for instructions on installing these CID-keyed fonts (section 2.3). I've gotten up to the point where I have to create a fonts.scale file. It's not that I have a problem understanding the instructions, since they're pretty easy to follow. The problem I have is whether I really have to create entries for all 50 Adobe-Japan1 CMaps for all four of the Adobe-Japan1 fonts. Should I just hack up a sed script that pairs the font names with each and every CMap? Or should I ignore most of them and only use a couple important ones? If the latter, which CMaps do I care about and which ones am I likely never to need? There should be an automated tool like mkfontdir and mkcfm that knows how to read the CIDFonts and CMap directories and generates the proper fonts.scale file... Or is there one already out there that I don't know about? On a completely different topic, is there any reason not to bundle the 'type1inst' and 'ttmkfdir' programs with XFree86? It seems to me that including them would be a good idea... 'james -- James A. Crippen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ,-./-.
