gnu-song24-gbk: 自由/免費的中文 GBK 編碼點陣字體 (BDF)
大家好！
花了幾天功夫，終於把 gnu-song24-gbk 這個自由/免費的中文 GBK
編碼點陣字體製出來了！ ^_^ 這個 BDF 字體主要是利用台灣行政院研考會
(RDEC) 及中推會 (CMEX) 著作及由華康科技設計的 Big5+ 標準文檔及 24x24
範例字體，從 Big5+ 碼轉成 GBK 碼，轉成 BDF 格式後，空白的地方補以
X11 內附的 ISAS hanzigb24st 24x24 字體，和文鼎科技熱心提供的公開授權
字體 (gbsn00lp.ttf 和 bsmi00lp.ttf)，以及小弟再加修輯而成。
現謹沿用 Arphic Public License 發行第 0.1 版，歡迎大家試用，
也請大家多多指教。 ^_^ RDEC/CMEX 的 Big5+ 字體因為依據台灣的
字模標準，所以不盡符合大陸的字體規格，例如「骨」字、「撐艇」部
的寫法等，希望問題不大，也希望將來可以予以修正。（例如文鼎的字體
就相當符合大陸的規格，有空可以利用文鼎字體代替相關字符。我之前使用
XmBDFEditor 逐個字抄過去，實在很累人。 ^_^ 當然，人手修改也可以，
不過功夫也不少。 ^_^）

急著試用的朋友可以在 X11 裏下指令：
wget http://www.debian.org/~foka/gnu-song24-gbk-0.1.tar.gz
tar xvzf gnu-song24-gbk-0.1.tar.gz
cd gnu-song24-gbk-0.1
make
mkfontdir
xset fp+ `pwd`
就是這樣子了。 Enjoy! :-)

Revision History:
2000-06-05: Version 0.1, Initial release. - foka@debian.org
To Do:
* Add any missing glyphs.
* Verify with a canonical GBK<->Unicode table.
* 0xA8BB - 0xA8C0: Is it "a,m,n,n,n,g" or "a,g,m,n,n,n"?
* Revise various glyphs to conform to the font standards
in Mainland China. Perhaps we could merge more glyphs from
the Arphic Public License fonts?

mailing-list at <debian-chinese@lists.debian.org>.
