[gs-devel] Re: Upcoming Ghostscript 8.60 release

[Koji Otani]

Hi, All.

CJK Patches are ready.
I attache three patch files to this mail.

gs-cjk-ps-20070803.patch.gz
  This patch fixed Font glyph handling.(fixed problem (1) and (2))
gs-cjk-metrics-20070803.patch.gz
  This patch fixed metirics problem.((3))
gs-cjk-examples-20070806.patch.gz
 This adds example files about CJK.

NOTE:
--  In espgs 8.15.x, default value of compile-inits option of 'configure'
 is 'disable'. But, in 8.60, it is 'enable'.
So, if you want to use same 'cidfmap' setting as espgs 8.15.x, 
you should specify '--disable-compile-inits' option.
--   'fontconfig' is not used for CID font.(whether with or without
CJK patch)
