GS-CJK, Defoma, Abiword, Tgif -- sophisticated font configuration.



Sorry for multi-postings.

Hello there,

i've sent an announcement of GS-CJK a few weeks ago with test packages
prepared, which happened to come to light that it is broken :=(
i'm terribly sorry, testers. the fixed packages are put at:
	deb http://arashi.debian.or.jp/~take/defoma ./

1. please apt-get following packages from there.
  defoma
  defoma-gs
  gsfonts
  gs-cjk-resource-6.0 (for gs-aladdin 6.0x)
  gs-cjk-resource-6.5 (for gs-aladdin 6.5x)
  ja: cmap-adobe-japan1 & ttf-xtt-wadalab-gothic, ttf-xtt-watanabe-mincho
  zh-CN: cmap-adobe-gb1 & ttf-arphic-gkai00mp
  zh-TW: cmap-adobe-big5 & ttf-arphic-bkai00mp

2. just wait for configuration done. Defoma automatically configures fonts.

Available Ja fonts will be: WadaLabGothic-Regular WatanabeMincho-Regular
Available CN fonts will be: GBZenKai-Medium
Available TW fonts will be: ZenKai-Medium

In addition, Ryumin-Light (ja), GothicBBB-Medium (ja), Song-Medum-GB-H (CN),
MOESung-Regular-ETen-B5-H (TW) fonts are substituted for convenience.
You will see a ps file of ja/cn/tw version of www.debian.org generated
by 'print to a file' of netscape can be correctly drawn by ghostscript
if netscape-(ja|zh)-resource is installed.

3. If you want to use CJK fonts in Abiword, please apt-get defoma-abiword and
defoma-ps. xfonts-arphic-[gb]kai00mp is also needed. defoma-abiword contains
just a simple script using Defoma framework. You will see ZenKai, GBZenKai,
WadaLabGothic or WatanabeMincho appears in the font-selection menu.

4. If you want to use CJK fonts (and possibly all available PostScript fonts)
in tgif, please apt-get tgif (and maybe gsfonts-other) from there. 
These two packages (and gsfonts package put there) are Defoma test version.
gsfonts-x11 is also needed. You will see almost all the fonts included
in gsfonts and gsfonts-other, and CJK fonts appear in the font-selection
menu.

Defoma can especially benefit PostScript outputting applications like tgif
and abiword in the mentioned manner, and any application that needs
font configuration.

After writing some documents, i'll itp defoma.

/*
Torsten, do you agree to merge gs-cjk patches and adopt Defoma font
configuration framework?
*/
