makejvf - Make Japanese VF file from Japanese TeX TFM file
makejvf [<options>] <TeX TFM
file> <PS font TFM>
makejvf is a tool to generate Japanese VF file from
Japanese TeX TFM (JFM) file for use with dvips.
- When processing Japanese
texts, pTeX refers to JFM (min10.tfm, jis.tfm etc.), which includes
definitions of some different character widths and metric glue/kerns. For
most punctuations and quotation marks, the character widths are truncated to
less than 1 zw (zenkaku-width; the width of ordinary Kanji characters), and
metric glue/kerns are inserted as a substitute.
- On the other hand, in Japanese PS
fonts, all punctuations and quotation marks have the same character widths
as ordinary Kanji characters. For this reason, when dvips processes the
resulting DVI, these characters have to be shifted to the left by the amount
of glue/kerns inserted.
- To achieve this, Virtual fonts
(VF) and PS TFM files are required; When VF contains the commands of
shifting characters, PS font TFM can have the exact character widths of PS
fonts.
- The program makejvf can
be used for this purpose. It inputs a pTeX JFM file (refered to as
<TeX TFM file> in SYNOPSIS above), and outputs a
corresponding VF file (with the same basename as <TeX TFM
file>) and a JFM file for a PS font JFM file (<PS font
TFM> above).
- -C
- Condensed ("Cho-tai") mode.
- -K
<PS-TFM>
- Map Kana (more exactly, non-Kanji) characters to another PS font JFM named
<PS-TFM>.
- -b
<integer>
- Base line shift amount; the integer represents a relative value,
using the character height as a base of 1000. When a positive integer is
specified, the characters are lowered. When a negative integer is
specified, the characters are raised.
- -m
- Replace single/double quotation marks (', '') with single/double prime
quotation marks (so-called "minute") in vertical writing. The
replacement is realized by manipulating glyphs of prime and double prime
(JIS 0x216C and 0x216D; Unicode U+2032 and U+2033), not by putting
actual glyphs designed for quotation marks (Unicode U+301D and
U+301E/U+301F).
- -a
<AFMfile>
- Name of the input AFM file used for Kana-tsume mode. This option is
unsupported.
- -k
<integer>
- Kana-tsume (narrower spaces between Kana characters) margin amount; the
integer represents a relative value, using the character width as a
base of 1000. This option should be accompanied with -a option.
This option is unsupported.
- -i
- Start mapped font ID from No. 0 in output VF (by default, makejvf defaults
to No. 1).
- -e
- Enhanced mode; the horizontal shift amount is determined from the
glue/kern table of input JFM file.
- By default, makejvf uses
the hard-coded value as the horizontal shift amount, which is (mostly)
optimized for Japanese fonts. When enhanced mode (option -e) is
enabled, the shift amount is determined from the input pTeX TFM (JFM) file,
which is likely to output most suitable VF for the JFM.
- For most standard Japanese JFM
(like jis.tfm and its derivatives), the output VFs from both modes will have
no significant difference. For simplified/traditional Chinese JFM (like
upschrm-h.tfm and uptchrm-h.tfm), the output VF from enhanced mode will be
better. For min10.tfm and its derivatives, enhanced mode should never
be enabled, since the characterization in min10.tfm is
non-standard.
- -t
<CNFfile>
- Use <CNFfile> as a configuration file.
- -u
<Charset>
- UCS mode. Available charsets are: gb (GB = Simplified Chinese), cns (CNS =
Traditional Chinese), ks (KS = Korean), jis (JIS = Japanese), jisq (JIS
quote only), custom (user-defined CHARSET from <CNFfile>; see
CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT section).
- Options below are
effective only in UCS mode:
- -J
<PS-TFM>
- Map single/double quote to another JIS-encoded PSfont TFM.
- -U
<PS-TFM>
- Map single/double quote to another UCS-encoded PSfont TFM.
- -3
- Use set3, that is, enable non-BMP characters support (with UCS mode). By
default makejvf does not output >=U+10000, to reduce file size
and to avoid problems with old DVI drivers. Recent versions of dvipdfmx
and others can handle VF with >=U+10000 (= set3 in DVI language),
therefore -3 might be helpful.
- -H
- Use half-width Katakana.
