Hello, I've updated the README to reflect all your changes and suggestions. It seems I was confused and thought the Debian TeXLive installation was the one to aim for, and I did not realize the directories were different from the original TeXLive. > You should mention that more explicitly IMHO; additionally it would be > a good idea to say that you need the various Wadalab fonts first -- in > TeXLive, this could be handled by proper dependencies (and in Debian > this should be possible too). An installation script should probably > rename the old files so that they can be restored if necessary. Can someone help here with advice? If my installation script says simply the following is that sufficient? : - ask user for root of $TEXMF. Should default be /usr/local/share/texmf or /usr/share/texmf ? - check dependencies with TeXLive: I have no idea how to do this properly (aptitude and parsing output? or looking for the files that should be replaced... if they are there then the Wadalab fonts are already installed) - make subdirectories if not yet there. - copy files to subdirs, and if clash, make backup with suffix "original". - write all done actions and results to log file. - have an uninstall script that reverses the procedure I'm afraid I have to plead ignorance as far as writing such scripts goes, the furthest I ever got along that route was reading up on what the stages of Debian package installation and uninstallation are :-( > > For possible support in EUC, I guess there are many problems, not > > least of which is that editors like Emacs will be unhappy with this. > > Probably a misunderstanding: An editor displays characters, not > glyphs.

I am still confused by such issues, and I part of my misunderstanding was caused by the fact that my Ubuntu emacs complains, but the Debian emacs is quite happy with hwkatakana in euc-jp mode as I found out later. For now there is effectively no support for outputting the hwkatakana in EUC-JP mode if I am not mistaken, so I have noted this in the README. > BTW, the same should work with Unicode too, and probably even more: If > you say \CJKnohwkatakana, even the U+FF.. half-width katakana should > be mapped to full-width representations. Ah, very nice option. I did not realize quite how beautiful it is! I attach the current README for comments. Regards, Gernot
