Thank you, Apostolos. I had not hoped that someone would really take
the time to actually look into the files. This is why I re-tested the
thing several times before sending them, hence the delay.
I reinstalled fontforge, this time compiled from source, sources from
14:57 GMT 31-Jul-2012 (this was taken from the fontforge homepage as
fontforge_full-20120731-b.tar.bz2). Autotrace version is 0.31.1. ,
this is a debian wheezy amd64.
Here are:
The fontforge file Erchinese.sfd, containing only the three
characters at unicode E000-E002 . I exported the sfd file to both
otf and ttf, and validated both each character as well as the font
itself ("no problems").
The xelatex source file input.tex
The pdf output xelatex-output.ps
The paps output from
paps --font=Erchinese\ 14 0.tex > paps-output.ps
I realized that the characters E001 and E002 have no space after them,
so the characters overlap. I could not find out how this works,
but this effect is _exactly_ what I want. These are (want to be)
chinese characters, and contrary to the existing fonts I would like
to reconstract the full characters from their single strokes.
Please note that I really tried to solve that myself.
Thanks in advance,
erich
