Re: [cjk] The fixed-up script and the fixed Noto type 1 fonts.

Hi Thorsten,

I downloaded the file and had a quicklook just in case I uploaded the wrong 
thing. It is fine. So I have no idea why it does not work for you. I can only 
suggest looking carefully at your latex log (i.e. sampl-nose.log, where you run 
latex), and your dvips log (that's come out to the console) to where it is 
looking for the tfm files and the pfb files and make sure you are not look at 
your old ones, seeing as you have multiple tries. oh, and where the 
"c70nose.fd" file is. That should also be seen in sample-nose.log; you want to 
use the one I included in the tar ball. Although it should be functionally the 
same as your own.

Item 3 is a mistake, sorry. However, extra entries are not used so shouldn't be 
a problem.
Item 6. "freetype-py" is the python wrapper around "libfreetype". I can 
generate both versions of the "subfonts-corrected.pe" if that helps. I'll 
suggest you try to get my tar ball working first though.

The language unit is called "character" and the visual graphic unit is call 
"glyph". In this case, "missing character" and "missing glyph" are both fine.

The difference between Noto CJK and Source CJK is quite small. Get one working, 
then you can think about switching :-).

 Hello Hin-Tak,
 
 after some days being more or
 less offline now I had a short time to go
 online and test things.
 
 1. I downloaded and unpacked the files from http://htl10.users.sf.net/f
 ixed-nose.tar.bz2. for a first, quick test (I
 hope to have more time
 the next days). First
 I tried to it under Windows, there I was told,
 the file is corrupt. But repeating under Ubuntu
 worked like a charm.
 
 2.
 Under Windows I put the *.pfb files into the appropriate
 directory.
 Still  chinese characters are
 missing. Then I put the *.tfm files into
 the
 appropriate directory. Still  chinese characters are
 missing. Then
 I replaced my old nose.map
 with your dvips-psfonts.map.add. I ran
 mktexlsr and updmap-sys. Still  chinese
 characters are missing. I
 attach the last
 generated PDF. For example in the second, third and
 last line characters are missing (by the way:
 Do you rather call them
 characters or
 signs?).
 
 3. I noticed the
 following: You sent me via http://htl10.users.sf.net/f
 ixed-nose.tar.bz2  359 nose*.pfb and 359
 nosex*.pfb files as well as
 the same number
 of *.tfm files. But in dvips-psfonts.map.add 417 *.pfb
 files each are listed. Is that a discrepancy or
 is it normal? 
 
 Before I
 leave for work now, a few additional notes:
 
 4. Thank you for your hint,
 that NotoCJK Serif and Adobe Source CJK
 Serif are not quite the same! If I understand
 you right, the Adobe
 fonts seem to be the
 more complete ones? So I should use them in
 future?
 
 5. I
 feel the same as you about Noto-Medium being too thick.
 The
 chinese signs stick out of my text being
 much darker in the moment.
 When before
 starting I looked at the font in a viewer, the signs
 looked
 thinner than the font Palatino I use
 as my main font. I would have
 changed that
 already, had I not run into much bigger problems. Now
 that
 should be one of my next tasks...
 ;-)))
 
 6. For installing
 freetype under Ubuntu it seems to be sufficient to
 call
 
 sudo
 apt-get install libfreetype6
 
 So I hope to be ready for doing more the next
 days...
 
 Thorsten
