| | <<<Back 1 day (to 2014/07/22) | 2014/07/23 |
| nidhin | I have downloaded the MuPDF from github and its showing error in System.loadLibrary("mupdf") | 05:24.05 |
| | can any mesolving this issue | 05:24.23 |
| | *help me | 05:24.37 |
| rsc | Does somebody have a pointer how to add a TTF file so that ghostscript can use it? | 12:39.00 |
| kens | Depends if you want to use it as a font or a CIDFont, and what operating system you are using | 12:39.28 |
| | Or more precisely, how Ghostscript has been built | 12:39.48 |
| rsc | Linux. And how do I figure out how Ghostscript was built? | 12:40.03 |
| kens | Well, what OS are you using, did you build it form source yourself, and if not where did you get it ? | 12:40.26 |
| rsc | CentOS 6, package from the distribution. | 12:40.43 |
| | But I guess you are looking for some specific output in --help or so? | 12:40.55 |
| kens | OK so its Lunix, and a distro, so its almost certianly built using shared libraries and no ROMFS | 12:41.04 |
| | SO you can moduy fontmap for fonts and cidfmap for CIDFonts | 12:41.19 |
| | modify* | 12:41.22 |
| | look in gs/Resource/Init | 12:41.51 |
| rsc | I created a cidfmap like this: "/MerriweatherSans « /FileType /TrueType /Path (/opt/fonts/MerriweatherSans-Regular.ttf) >> ;" | 12:42.20 |
| | hrmpf. 2x < of course | 12:42.37 |
| kens | Ah, not just my IRC client you confused there then | 12:42.50 |
| | You should have had a cidfmap in the directory already, that one doesn't look right to me | 12:43.26 |
| | No SubfontID and ordering or supplement | 12:44.02 |
| rsc | How do I figure out SubfontID? | 12:44.16 |
| kens | You just need to know, try 0 | 12:44.24 |
| rsc | haha, okay. | 12:44.28 |
| kens | I think you can leave out the Ordering but if it was me I would set /Identity and supplement 0 | 12:45.08 |
| rsc | another TTF seems to use "/SubFontID 0 /CSI [(Unicode) 0]" | 12:45.37 |
| kens | You can try that | 12:45.59 |
| rsc | Is "gs -sDEVICE=nullpage -dBATCH -c '(MerriweatherSans) findfont'" okay to check if the font gets loaded? | 12:46.48 |
| kens | Well I'd use /MerriweatherSans findfont but its up to you | 12:47.27 |
| | Actually no, that won;'t work | 12:47.47 |
| | You need to compose the font with a CMap to use it as a CIDFont | 12:48.00 |
| | try "(*) {==} 256 string /CIDFont resourceforall" | 12:49.09 |
| rsc | That doesn't list that font. | 12:51.50 |
| kens | THen its not picking it up. | 12:52.09 |
| | Does it list anything ? You seem to imply that you have amodified cidfmap already | 12:52.36 |
| rsc | Oh, can I have just one modified cidfmap? | 12:52.52 |
| kens | Well yes | 12:53.03 |
| | GS uses the first one it finds | 12:53.15 |
| rsc | I did the following: New cidfmap and added the directory containing it to $GS_FONTPATH | 12:53.19 |
| | eh $GS_LIB, not $GS_FONTPATH | 12:53.42 |
| kens | I don't htink that will work, you should add it using -I, oh GS_LIN will probably work | 12:53.53 |
| | So when you did resourceforall, what result did you get ? | 12:54.13 |
| rsc | GS_LIB works, but only one cidfmap. AH. | 12:54.22 |
| | Okay, that lists the fonts now. | 12:55.04 |
| kens | OK | 12:55.09 |
| rsc | "/MerriweatherSans findfont" leads now to "Loading NimbusMonL-Regu font from /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n022003l.pfb... 3042472 1671101 3207432 1905995 1 done." | 12:56.59 |
| kens | Yes, you've defined a CIDFont called MerriweatherSans, not a Font | 12:57.23 |
| | If you want to use it as a Font you need to modify Fontmap.GS | 12:57.38 |
| rsc | Okay, the application is using CIDFont, I think. At least the Fontmap.GS is not modified for any other *.ttf here. | 12:58.10 |
| kens | That doens't prove much really. Why should Fontmap.GS be altered by some other application ? | 12:59.00 |
| rsc | There is only Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS - and it does not contain e.g. DejaVuLGCSans | 12:59.59 |
| kens | Like I said, no reaqson why it would really | 13:00.13 |
| | You need to add fonts to one of cidfmap or fontmap.GS before GS will use them, but it doesn't come with any 'pre-installed' (unless you run the post installer on Windows) | 13:00.51 |
| chrisl | Some distributions add to the font mappings in their repackaging | 13:01.39 |
| kens | Yes, that's a point | 13:01.51 |
| | Can't hold me responsible for what distros do though :-) | 13:02.17 |
| rsc | Do I definately need Fontmap.GS? because I can not find any file that would have an entry for the DejaVuLGCSans (that came with the distribution) | 13:09.31 |
| kens | You definitely need fontmap.GS, whether you need to modify it for your needs is another matter. Without knowing what you are doing its impossible to say | 13:10.06 |
| | It sounds like the distro has added some fonts and made them available as CIDFonts, but that likely doens't help you with whatever your problem is | 13:10.43 |
| rsc | The *.ps that is used with ghostscript seems to be fine with CIDFonts. So what am I missing for the new font? | 13:13.26 |
| kens | rsc I don't know, | 13:15.24 |
| | you haven't told me what yopur problem is | 13:15.29 |
| | A PostScript can't be 'fine with CIDFOnts' it either uses CIDFonts or it doesn't | 13:15.51 |
| rsc | "/DejaVuLGCSans-Identity-H findfont" works for DejaVuLGCSans for example. What do I need for "MerriweatherSans"? | 13:16.33 |
| | And for DejaVuLGCSans all that exists is DejaVuLGCSans.ttf and a cidfmap. | 13:18.16 |
| kens | The name you quote is a composed font, a composition of a CIDFOnt and a CMap. If Ghostscript can't find a named font one of the 'convenience' things it does is look to see if the name looks like a composed font (name + CMap). If it does Ghostscript will attempt to split up the name into a named CIDFont and a CMAp, and then attempt to compose the font from that information | 13:18.24 |
| | So /DejaVuLGCSans-Identity-H findfont will cause GS to look for a CIDFont named DejaVuLGCSans and a CMap called Identity-H and then execute composefont on those two. | 13:19.25 |
| | So it doesn't really make sense to ask "What do I need for MerriweatherSans". | 13:19.43 |
| | If you want to do "MerriWeatherSans findfont" then you need to define MerriweatherSans as a font. | 13:20.11 |
| rsc | I need the equivalent of /DejaVuLGCSans-Identity-H for MerriweatherSans | 13:20.29 |
| kens | The equivalent is MerriweatherSans-Identity-H | 13:20.51 |
| rsc | But using that leads to an error. | 13:22.16 |
| kens | Which leads me back to 'what is the problem you are actually trying to solve' | 13:22.39 |
| rsc | There is an application that uses "DejaVuLGCSans-Identity-H" to create PDFs from some generated PostScript. And the goal is to replace DejaVuLGCSans by MerriweatherSans | 13:23.43 |
| | And that application calls ghostscript somewhere in the middle indeed. | 13:24.25 |
| kens | Then you need to create a *substitution* in cidfmap, as well as a CIDFont | 13:24.29 |
| | All you've done so far is create a CIDFOnt called Merriweather, if you want to use that in place of DejaVuLGCSans, then you need an additional entry in cidfmap | 13:25.12 |
| rsc | But I am able to change the string "DejaVuLGCSans-Identity-H" in that application to the new font. | 13:25.48 |
| kens | As documented in the header you need to add "/substituted /original ;" where in your case /substituted is DejaVuLGCSans and /original is Merriweather | 13:26.10 |
| | rsc, I'm unable to keep up with you. You've just changed your requirement. | 13:26.45 |
| rsc | Wait, I am able to change "DejaVuLGCSans-Identity-H" in that application. But putting in "MerriweatherSans-Identity-H" doesn't simply work. | 13:26.55 |
| kens | 'Doesn't work' how ? | 13:27.21 |
| chrisl | So, what error do you get when you do "/MerriweatherSans-Identity-H findfont" | 13:27.23 |
| rsc | "Error: /undefinedresource in /findfont" | 13:28.03 |
| kens | The whole error please, including the font names | 13:28.17 |
| rsc | http://fpaste.org/120117/12217614/ | 13:29.42 |
| kens | OK so its not finding MerriweatherSans-Identity-H | 13:30.15 |
| | There could be many reasons, what happens if you do /MderriweatherSans-Identity-H findfont at the GS> prompt ? | 13:30.50 |
| | Good grief, why are you using 8.70 ? | 13:31.12 |
| rsc | That's what CentOS 6 delivers. | 13:31.28 |
| kens | You need to use a version of GS less than 5 years old | 13:31.29 |
| rsc | "/MerriweatherSans-Identity-H findfont" returns the same from the fpaste above. | 13:32.44 |
| | No matter if it's -c or GS> | 13:32.53 |
| kens | I though you said that worked ? | 13:32.57 |
| chrisl | What about "/MerriweatherSans /CIDFont findresource" ? | 13:33.19 |
| kens | To be honest, I can't even begin to guess what might be wrong in software that old, your best bet is to start with something more recent | 13:33.26 |
| rsc | chrisl: same error | 13:33.51 |
| chrisl | Can't be the same error | 13:34.03 |
| kens | Could be similar | 13:34.19 |
| rsc | http://fpaste.org/120119/61224781/ | 13:34.47 |
| | Sorry, similar but not same. | 13:34.53 |
| chrisl | So, your changes to cidfmap aren't being picked up | 13:35.23 |
| rsc | Okay. | 13:36.37 |
| chrisl | Can you try using -I to point gs to the directory containing your cidfmap, the try the findresource again? | 13:37.09 |
| rsc | "/SubFontID 0 /CSI [(Unicode) 0]" -> "Loading a TT font from /opt/fonts/MerriweatherSans-Regular.ttf to emulate a CID font MerriweatherSans ... Done." | 13:37.15 |
| | But is "/SubFontID 0 /CSI [(Unicode) 0]" correct? before I was using "/SubFontID 0" only. | 13:37.29 |
| chrisl | SubFontID should be redundant in this case | 13:37.56 |
| kens | I thought we agreed you were going to try [(Unicode) 0] | 13:38.04 |
| chrisl | I think you need ".../CSI [(Identity) 0]..." | 13:38.53 |
| rsc | Okay. Let me try. | 13:41.33 |
| | kens, chrisl: Thank you very much - it works now. | 14:22.26 |
| kens | That's nice. | 14:22.36 |
| rsc | I also had to create a *.afm but that's outside of this. | 14:23.08 |
| kens | Ah well that won't be for GS... | 14:23.19 |
| rsc | Yes, but that was something which I knew before already (and got relevant when GS started working) | 14:25.06 |
| chrisl | Hmm, most applications these days use metrics direct from the fonts, especially TTFs, rather than AFMs..... | 14:26.22 |
| rsc | Believe me, I do not love that application. | 14:27.25 |
| | It's from the 1990s :( | 14:27.44 |
| kens | Hey GS is from the 1980s :-) | 14:27.58 |
| rsc | But maintained :) | 14:28.05 |
| kens | True | 14:28.10 |
| rsc | (in difference to our internal thing) | 14:28.11 |
| chrisl | going to collect some mail - back in 20-30 mins...... | 15:05.05 |
| jogux | mattchz: interesting, in ios8b4, mupdf no longer crashes when I try to delete a file... but neither does the delete dialogue actually show. | 15:27.12 |
| mattchz | nice | 15:27.22 |
| jogux | the screen dims out like it's displaying it | 15:27.55 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2014/07/24)>>> | |
