I was digging through the fonts.dir that the CLE (Chinese GNU/Linux
Extension Project) use, and found a slightly different version.
I have made some slight modification (to capitalize the font names so they
look better. :-) I have attached it here as an .tar.bz2 archive.
I prefer CLE's fonts.dir over the ones that ha shao suggested, although I am
pretty sure that we may need to tweak those CLE fonts.dir even further, when
the details of Ghostscript-CJK and fonts are finalized.
To Debian JP and Debian-KR developers, since AbiWord supports CJK starting
with 0.7.12, you may be interested in getting this to work with Japanese and
Korean too. AFAIK, you will need to add these files:
/usr/share/abisuite/AbiWord/strings/ja
/usr/share/abisuite/fonts/ja/fonts.dir
/usr/share/abisuite/AbiWord/strings/ko
/usr/share/abisuite/fonts/ko/fonts.dir
and then AbiWord would fully support Japanese and Korean too. (I hope. :-)
Yes, after adding the Chinese fonts.dir, AbiWord-0.7.13 in Debian is a full
Chinese word processor! I was really impressed!
Aaron, I am too lazy to download and unpack the AbiWord source to provide a
diff, but perhaps you could do something like this? :-)
cd abiword-0.7.13/debian
tar xvjf AbiWord_zh-fonts-dir.tar.bz2
mv zh-CN/fonts.dir fonts.dir.zh-CN
mv zh-TW/fonts.dir fonts.dir.zh-TW
so you end up with debian/fonts.dir.zh-CN and debian/fonts.dir.zh-TW.
Now, edit debian/rules, and in the "install:" target, add:
for i in zh-CN zh-TW; do \
install -m 755 -d debian/tmp/usr/share/abisuite/fonts/$$i; \
install -m 755 debian/fonts.dir.$$i
debian/tmp/usr/share/abisuite/fonts/$$i/fonts.dir; \
done
Something like that? I haven't tested it yet. :-)
And of course, in the future, "ja" and "ko" and perhaps other locales could
be added too.
Oh, BTW, just a sidenote: You may want to remove the "-s" option from this
line:
install -s -m 755 $(TMP_DIR)/bin/AbiWord_d debian/tmp/usr/bin/
because dh_strip will eventually strip all the binaries. :-)
(And dh_strip runs with some extra option that might strip the binary
better? Not sure.)
Cheers,
Anthony
