Chinese - font utilities
by Duncan Hothersall 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

[While the mailing list archive is down I can't search for previous answers to this, so apologies if this is asked and answered already.] I'd like to use the Chinese setting facility in ConTeXt, and am going through the instructions given in the "Chinese in ConTeXt" manual. I'm finding it very tough to locate the utilites needed to prepare the fonts. In particular, I've been looking for 'chpfb' or 'gbpfb', which will enable me to convert a TrueType font into several Type 1 fonts and corresponding tfms, or the 'gbenc' shellscript which will enable me to create the necessary tfms and encodings to use the ttf directly. Unfortunately they are proving very difficult to track down in the locations pointed to by the manual, which presumably are now out of date. I have access to both Windows and Linux platforms to run these on, so if anyone can point me at a place where I can now get them I'd be very grateful. Even better, if someone actually has a working Chinese set-up, a few pointers as to how you got there would be brilliant! Many thanks. Duncan

Line break?

This is probably "the dumbest question of the year", but I cannot find an answer in the manuals (beginner's and the real big one) and the mailing archives don't want to play with me today [Forbidden. You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/search.cgi on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.]. I badly need a working line break (comparable to the HTML tag <br>). In a side note in one of the manuals I found that \\ should work as line break, but it doesn't work for me, for example --- Example: To change 4-20 mA = 15 - 25 CONC\% to 4-20 mA = 10 - 30 CONC\%, key in the sequence\\ Calibrate/Parameters/Output signals/Current output\\ and then enter Zero = 10 and Span = 20. --- results in --- Example: To change 4-20 mA = 15 - 25 CONC% to 4-20 mA = 10 - 30 CONC%, key in the sequence Calibrate/Parameters/Output signals/Current output and then enter Zero = 10 and Span = 20. --- and that's not what I want. I'm open to other solutions as well, but I think I'd really prefer to have line breaks there (not least because I want to keep the code simple - other people will need to understand this too). Mari from Finland PS. Any hope with the mailing archive search?
