Slackware teTeX + Chinese mini-HOWTO

terminator · 发表于 2003-12-18 18:23:30

This is a quick solution to setup CJK for Slackware Linux 9/-current.

(1) Install tetex package

(2) Prepare localized directory tree
# mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/

(3) Download latest CJK, e.g., 4.5.2 from the following link:
ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/cjk/

Uncompress the CJK package, then:
# mv cjk-4.5.2/texinput/ /usr/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/CJK

(4) Build tools:
gbkfonts, it requires header file from freetype 1.x
http://learn.tsinghua.edu.cn/homepage/2001315450/programs.html
ttf2pk, it is included in contrib/ of freetype 1.x, build it
statically since your system may have freetype2 installed!

(5) Build fonts from TTF fonts:
# cd /usr/share/texmf-local/
# gbkfonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/simsun.ttc song
# gbkfonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/simhei.ttc hei
# gbkfonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/simkai.ttc kai
# gbkfonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/simfang.ttc fs
# gbkfonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fzwbjw.ttc fzweibeis
# gbkfonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fzwbfw.ttc fzweibeit

Move generated file in the current directory
(/usr/share/texmf-local) to correct location:
# mv cid-x.map dvipdfm/config/
# mv cjk.map dvips/config/
# cp ../texmf/dvips/config/config.ps dvips/config/
# echo "p +cjk.map" >> dvips/config/config.ps
# mv pdftex.cfg pdftex/config/

(6) Clean up:
# cd tex/latex/CJK/
# rm -rf JIS/ KS/ SJIS/ thai/ CEF/

# /usr/share/texmf/bin/mktexlsr

(7) Change permissions:
# chown -R root:root /usr/share/texmf-local/

(8) Add /usr/local/texmf-local/bin in $PATH:
# vi /etc/profile.d/tetex.csh /etc/profile.d/tetex.sh

1.only "cp cjk.map and updmap --enable Map `pwd`/cjk.map " needed.
all tools will use the type1 fonts by default. other files would be used if you want to support truetype font.
2. cp -r tex /usr/share/texmf-local/ (don't forgot)
3. if needed, you should modify the *.fd files in /usr/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/...(sorry, i forgot it), you can take the pre-existed files in cjk package for example to support Bold in chinese.

may we exchange some ideas about TeX with each other.

TeXLive CD has CJK support built-in since release 7.
Simply enable it when doing setup.

haven't tried this. gbkfonts generated lots of fonts of afm, tfm, and type1. Frankly speaking, I do not know too much of the fonts.

not necessary. See my original post, in fact I run the gbkfonts in /usr/share/texmf-local.

> 3. if needed, you should modify the *.fd files in /usr/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/...(sorry, i forgot it), you can take the pre-existed files in cjk package for example to support Bold in chinese.

Not necessary, these are automatically generated by gbkfonts.

welcome, but do not expect too much from me 'coz I know little about TeX. :p This mini-HOWTO is just one of my test of TeX.

BTW, this solutions does not change anything in the main texmf directory. All the new files and changes are in /usr/local/texmf-local. So it's safe to tar the texmf-loca directory and copy to other machines directly.

no, gbkfonts will yield c19song.fd for you. but you still need change it to support CJKbold.

按上述办法试了一下，但是在/usr/share/texmf-local/中没有发现bin目录，需要自己建立吗？要cp哪些东西进去呢？

terminator · 发表于 2004-1-30 06:47:19

yes, you need to create the bin directory by yourself, just copy the gbkfonts and ttf2pk binaries into bin. you can copy them to /usr/local/bin as well. they are only required for building gbkfonts from truetype fonts.

windrose · 发表于 2004-1-30 15:13:41

我的体会：gbkfonts似乎不需要ttf2pk，我下载源码之后make clean && make就能生成可执行的gbkfonts了。但是gbkfonts只能在它的源码目录中运行，在别的目录下指明gbkfonts的路径或者直接cp到其他目录下，运行会出错。运行gbkfonts之后，只要按gnwd的方法做就可以了。

terminator · 发表于 2004-1-31 05:13:32

you are right, ttf2pk is not required for gbkfonts. I built it because somebody mentioned it can be used for latex to use truetype font directly, but I have not tried it.
