[abcusers] Adding PostScript fonts?
oups, it seems I forget to post this one after typing it... If you're using ghostscript... you put in /fonts/ your new fonts (ex : Hansagotisch.pfb, maybe there are also other definitions, I can't remember, such as Hansagotisch.afm, Hansagotisch.inf Hansagotisch.pfm but they're probably not all necessary) then, in /lib/ you edit Fontmap.GS such : in section % Actual fonts you add : /HansaGotisch (Hansagotisch.pfb) ; /AlteSchwabacher(AlteSchwabacher.pfb) ; /AlteSchwabacherDemi(AlteSchwabacherDemi.pfb) ; /AlteSchwabacherShadow (AlteSchwabacherShadow.pfb) ; and you can also add a section for % Aliases ex : /AlteSchwabacher-Bold /AlteSchwabacherDemi; /AlteSchwabacher-Italic /AlteSchwabacher; /AlteSchwabacher-Bold-Italic/AlteSchwabacherDemi; etc. then you can use the alias name with Abcm2ps in your abc file ex : %%textfont AlteSchwabacher-Bold 15 %%vskip 0.5cm %%center F r a u N a c h t i g a l l %%center Volkslieder vom 12. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart %%textfont AlteSchwabacher 12 %%vskip 0.5cm %%center Herausgegeben %%center von %%center Carl Reyß und Fritz Spieser If you want to have a look to what you can get with this : http://anamnese.online.fr/abc/nachtigl.pdf you'll get all the sources in the http://anamnese.online.fr/abc/ directory I even used some celtic fonts for http://anamnese.online.fr/abc/celtia.pdf Hope that help. I haven't processed new files for long, so I can't remember all. Anyway, if you can't make it work, you can email me. I remember it worked fine for some fonts, but I had pb with some others (especially Garamond). ___ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo!

For 2), you just give the name of the font in the pseudo-comments '%%xxxfont'. If the font is defined inside a tune, you also have to put a '%%font' at the beginning of the file or in a format file.

We all know that PostScript has those nice 35 fonts, which ought to be enough for everybody. But what if I wanted to use some other weird font? So, I'd like to know: 1) is it possible to add a new font to GhostScript, and how? 2) how can *abc*2ps use this new font, if at all possible? If you have the font available as a truetype font it can be added to the GhostScript font map. The font map maps font names to the actual files containing the fonts. On my machine (Windows 2000 with GhostScript 7.03) the fontmap is found at: C:\Program Files\gs\gs7.03\lib\Fontmap.GS You can add extra entries at the bottom of the file. E.g. to add the comic font I added: /Comic (c:/winnt/fonts/comic.ttf) ; (note the forward slashes rather than back slashes in the pathname). As far as making abc2ps use the new font, I don't know. If nothing else you could use a script to go through the postscript output and substitute your new font name, although if abc2ps uses font size information it might not give the desired output.

Guido [EMAIL PROTECTED] asked: So, I'd like to know: 1) is it possible to add a new font to GhostScript, and how? 2) how can *abc*2ps use this new font, if at all possible? Under Windows, the file fonts.htm in the GhostScript doc directory explains how to add new fonts. I haven't tried this myself. cheers, Ewan Macpherson To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
