From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021008 Description of problem: Ken Lunde (the author of CJKV information processing and the man behind CJKV fonts at Adobe) put up a set of sample CID-keyed fonts at ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/pub/examples/nutshell/cjkv/adobe/samples/ They're refered to in /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib/CIDFnmap.*, but they're not installed in /usr/share/ghostscrpt/Resources/CIDFont. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Make a simple postscript file that refers to a truetype font as a CID-keyed font. For instance, the following PS file will do it. -------Cut----Here---------- %!PS-Adobe-3.0 /Munhwa-Regular-UniKS-UTF8-H findfont 50 scalefont setfont 10 100 moveto <ED959CEAB880> show showpage %%EOF -----------Cut----------Here 2. Try to view it with 'gs' or 'gv' Actual Results: Instead of Korean characters, Latin alphabets show up with the error message that gs can't find font 'Munhwa-Regular-UniKS-UTF8-H' so that it's replaced by 'Courier'. Or, gs doesn't show anything with the error message '/undefinedresource in --findresource--' Expected Results: Two Korean characters should be printed with Munhwa-Regular font. Additional info: Barring any potential license issue (there is none afaik.), it'd be nice to put them in either /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFont or in /usr/share/fonts/<lang>/CIDFont (where <lang> is ja, zh-TW, zh-CN and ko. Note that /usr/share/fonts/<lang>/CIDFont don't yet exist on RedHat 8.0) along with the corresponding afm files in appropriate place (e.g. /usr/share/fonts/afms). If the latter is chosen (which is better because that way, CID-keyed fonts can be visible to xfs and possibly Xft/fontconfig), symbolic links to them have to be made in /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFont so that ghostscript can access them. fonts.scale files have to be made in /usr/share/fonts/<lang>/CIDFont directories as well as fonts.dir. In addition, the following line (currently commented out) in /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib/CIDFnmap has to be 'activated'. %(CIDFnmap.Ore) .runlibfile Related to this bug is bug 78788. I filed this for ghostscript because '/usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFont' directory belongs to 'ghostscript' component, but I guess it's better to be put in 'ghostscript-fonts' component.
Changing serverity to 'enh'. Sorry for spamming. BTW, as for the license of CID-keyed fonts at ORA ftp site, at least Korean Munhwa fonts have X11-like license (they're released by South Korean Ministry of Culture as free fonts and Ken Lunde wrapped them as CID-keyed fonts). I guess other fonts (Japanese and Chinese) were also released under pretty liberal license terms.
Need to check the license pretty carefully first.
Non-copyleft license of the original work doesn't protect the derived work from being distributed under non-free license. I tried to check the license some time ago. There's none on the site. They don't respond to email either.
Think we'll have to close this.
