Hi, I am experimenting with generating PDF files from PS which contain Japanese fonts using ps2pdf in Fedora Core 1. In the default setup, the resulting PDF file displays the Japanese characters, but the glyphs are embedded in the PDF file as bitmaps. This seems to be because VFLib is used for integrating Japanese TrueType fonts in Ghostscript, and it generates a font format for which ps2pdf does not support font outline embedding. An alternative I tried is using the CIDFnmap mechanism for integrating asian fonts in Ghostscript. It seems that the Fedora setup is already prepared for this, all I had to do was comment out the VFlib font entries in vflib/kconfig.ps and edit CIDFnmap so that the font configuration files for Japanese are included. With this setup, the glyphs are embedded in the PDF document as outlines, but unfortunately only if I use ps2pdf13. It seems that for older PDF versions, ps2pdf does not support font embedding for the generated font type and outputs a PDF document which contains garbled characters. What I would like to ask the list is if there are other configuration alternatives for font embedding in ps2pdf, and also if in future Fedora releases asian TrueType font integration should be done with the CIDFnmap mechanism instead of VFlib. Note that I have only tested with the Ghostscript demo ps file gscjk_aj.ps and PS files generated from Mozilla. I have not tested PS documents with characters from other asian languages. Michael
