teTeX dvips/bluesky/bsr.map and updmap
Hello, I am a Japanese pTeX on teTeX user. I use TeXShop and dvipdfm program to compile TeX and preview on my Mac OS X, which needs reencode files for computer modern fonts which are remapped by dvipdfm. There are many encode files for remaped fonts in your distribution, but not sufficient. So I made a new bsr.map file which uses reencoded encode files for all bluesky's Type 1 fonts which are attached in this mail (of cource the same encodings are omitted). Please use these files for Mac OS X TeX user. While making this encode files, I found updmap didnot work on Mac OS X since sed cannot understand replacement statements like 's/\(.*\)/\0 \1/'. '' mark do the same work as '\0' on Mac OS X and '\0' is just a letter '0'. I don't know how to avoid this matter.

Re: teTeX dvips/bluesky/bsr.map and updmap
I am a Japanese pTeX on teTeX user. I use TeXShop and dvipdfm program to compile TeX and preview on my Mac OS X, which needs reencode files for computer modern fonts which are remapped by dvipdfm. Can you please explain, why you think that you need reencoding for all fonts in the bsr set? The idea of reencoding is to help the reader to find ligatures (if you have a version with the search option) and to help text extraction. I don't see a benefit for reencoding e.g. cmbsy10. In the map files from the author of dvipdfm, only the pure text fonts have been reencoded (see cmr.map in the dvipdfm distribution). While making this encode files, I found updmap didnot work on Mac OS X since sed cannot understand replacement statements like 's/\(.*\)/\0 \1/'. '' mark do the same work as '\0' on Mac OS X and '\0' is just a letter '0'. I don't know how to avoid this matter. I just have fixed a few compatibility problems with updmap and I hope that the teTeX-2.0 version will be good enough.
