I am very interested in obtaining Kanji fonts for TeX. If
anyone has had any luck obtaining information about this
I would appreciate your forwarding it to me.
Can anyone give me a brief explanation about how to convert the
Hershey font data into TeX fonts? There have been numerous postings
to the net that provide pieces of the puzzle, but so far I've
been unable to put it all together. I have the following programs:
The original Hershey font data
HFONT - hershey to superplot font file
PLPS - superplot plot file to postscript
PLTX - superplot plot file to text
TXPL - text to superplot plot file
TEXT_PS - text to postscript
HERSEL - hershey to postscript font
HERPS - hershey to postscript
GFTOPXL - generic font to PXL
PXTOCH - PXL to character
CHTOPX - character to PXL
PLTOTF - .PL file to .TFM file
TFTOPL - .TFM file to .PL file
AFTOP - .AFM file to .PL file
The closest thing I came up with was using HERSEL to create
postscript fonts from the Hershey stuff. This gave me a .PRO,
.AFM, and .MAP file. I can then use AFTOP to create a .PL file
from the .AFM and PLTOTF to then create a .TFM file for TeX.
Unfortunately that doesn't give me the .PXL file that TeX needs.
Can anyone give me help to do this? Unfortunately we do NOT have
Postscript at this time.
Thanks.
