16| The tiny Perl-script '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' converts <tt>.sfd</tt> files (as used by  
17| CJK-LaTeX) to <tt>.map</tt> files (as used by ttf2pt1).  
18| <p>  
19  
20| Actually I currently don't use that script stand-alone for performance  
21| reasons.  
22| <p>  
23  
24| Currently I use such a conversion in another small script '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>'  
25| (attached as well) which creates <tt>.tfm</tt> files usable with CJK-LaTeX  
26| from TrueType fonts as listed in <tt>/etc/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map</tt>. When called like  
27| <br>  
28| &nbsp;&nbsp;<tt>cjk-latex-config --type1</tt>  
29| <br>  
30| this script will use ttf2pt1 to generate <tt>.pfb</tt> files as well from these TrueType  
31| fonts to be used with CJK-LaTeX.  
32| <p>  
33  
34| The <tt>.sfd</tt> files cannot be directly used as input to ttf2pt1 because the  
35| format of the <tt>.map</tt> files which ttf2pt1 expects is slightly different,  
36| therefore I made the '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' converter script.  
37| <p>  
38  
39| But then I noticed that I would have to parse the generated map file  
40| *again* to get a list of the plane numbers to use. That seemed to be a  
41| bit wastful because I had just parsed the <tt>.sfd</tt> file to convert it to  
42| <tt>.map</tt>, therefore I included <tt>sfd2map</tt> as a function in '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>'  
43| as well and collected the plane numbers during the conversion.  
44| <p>  
45  
46| But '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>' is maybe a little bit SuSE specific, therefore  
47| I kept '<tt>sfd2map</tt>' also as a standalong script. Use it if you like.  
48| <p>  
49  
50| '<tt>cjk-latex-config</tt>' calls another small script '<tt>cjk-latex-t1mapgen</tt>'  
51| to generate a <tt>cjk-latex.map</tt> file containing something like  
52| <br>  
53| <tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;cyberb00 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-00 <cyberb00.pfb</tt>  
54| <br>  
55| <tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;cyberb01 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-01 <cyberb01.pfb</tt>  
56| <br>  
57| <tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;cyberb02 BitstreamCyberbit-Roman-02 <cyberb02.pfb</tt>  
58| <br>  
59| <tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;[...]</tt>  
60| <br>  
61| after all <tt>.pfb</tt> files have been generated.  
62| <p>  
63  
64| Maybe this is also SuSE specific, I'm not sure about in what  
65| directories the relevant files are stored on other Linux-like systems.  
66| <p>  
67  
68| I'm not yet sure whether they work on other systems beside SuSE Linux.  
69| They have hard coded path names where to find the TrueType fonts,  
70| <tt>ttfonts.map</tt>, the TeX fonts etc and <tt>cjk-latex-config</tt> checks  
71| whether freetype-tools.rpm is installed. freetype-tools.rpm might  
72| have another name for other distributions and for distributions  
73| which don't use rpm this check can't work anyway.   
74| <p>  
75  
76| These are small details and it should not be difficult to adapt the  
77| scripts for other Linux-like systems though.
