| tor8 | Robin_Watts: all three LGTM. signing off now. have a nice weekend :) | 01:46.01 |
| psycho_oreos | Hi, is there a way to render up Japanese postscript files? I am trying to read postscript files from this web page (archive area): http://member.wide.ad.jp/~wada/index-j.html but it always shows up garbled. Thanks. | 15:03.09 |
| Robin_Watts | psycho_oreos: If the PDFs are well formed, we should render them fine | 15:59.04 |
| | I just tried "summer64.pdf" from there, and it looks the same in mupdf/ghostscript/acrobat. | 16:01.55 |
| psycho_oreos | Hi Robin_Watts thanks for response. Though the problem is not PDF file, they are PS files which if I use ps2pdf the same result is being outputted. That is basically garbage in, garbage out. | 16:02.56 |
| | I tried to compile the git version of ghostscript 9.11 I believe but it failed so I am stuck on 9.10. | 16:03.37 |
| Robin_Watts | The PS files probably assume the presence of the required fonts. | 16:03.48 |
| | hence if you don't have the appropriate font, you'll be getting some sort of substitution done. | 16:04.08 |
| psycho_oreos | Yeah, I ran it through ghostscript and it showed up two missing files which are somewhat hard to locate. | 16:04.16 |
| | The problem is sourcing for those missing fonts are difficult. | 16:06.07 |
| | Here is my pastebin on the said issue: http://paste2.org/vEcwXgvg | 16:07.29 |
| sags | @psycho_oreos: http://www.enel.ucalgary.ca/People/far/howto/gs-ttf.html the "gs6.0.kanji.tar.gz (about 5.6M)". Not sure it's the best/ most up-to-date option, but it works. It contains the needed Fontmap too (although it would be beter to extract from there only the part that deals to these fonts). | 16:12.42 |
| psycho_oreos | sags, thanks I'll give this a try! | 16:14.18 |
| | sags, hmm the contents of that compressed tar file are .gsf files. The guide is a bit old (my setup does not have that directory) - I am running archlinux here, is there specifically a place where I can place them or should I place them in a directory where it will get loaded when I run loadallfonts or something like that in gs shell? | 16:19.41 |
| | sags, hi did you get my previous message? | 16:22.15 |
| sags | @psycho_oreos: I'm on Windows, and have put all *.gsf and a file named Fontmap in an empty directory and added that directory to GS_LIB. | 16:23.34 |
| psycho_oreos | Ahh ok, thanks. Hmm gonna have to poke around. This would work with much later builds of ghostscript right? I am on 9.10 here. | 16:24.13 |
| sags | @psycho_oreos: Then the file I tried seems to display ok. But I have no clue un Japanese so cannot tell if the displayed glyphs are the correct ones or not. | 16:24.48 |
| | @psycho_oreos: Some GS 9.11 pre-release here. | 16:25.33 |
| psycho_oreos | sags, only one way to tell, I will have to try it out and see. It was using Courier fonts which doesn't have Japanese support and the characters were all jumbled. | 16:26.11 |
| | Ahh.. I am on 9.10 here. 9.11 failed to compile from GIT. | 16:26.29 |
| sags | @psycho_oreos: Don't think the GS version matters that much. Try with the 9.10 you already have. | 16:27.13 |
| psycho_oreos | sags, yeah am trying that now. I have extracted and moved the directory to my base ghostscript installation. Now I just need to find out how to define GS_LIB. | 16:29.06 |
| ray_laptop | psycho_oreos: you can point gs to an additional 'lib' directory by using the -I___ option | 22:25.30 |
| | or on unix systems you can use: export GS_LIB="___" | 22:26.55 |
