- psfontmgr accepts postscript, type1 and xfont categories.
- psfontmgr provides x-postscript categories.
-
- 1. psprint, pspreview and postscript
-
- psprint and pspreview categories are obsoleted from psfontmgr 0.4.9.
- Postscript-previewer applications and Postscript-printer applications
- should now provide postscript category with an application specific tag
- is added, like <gs>/Courier-Bold.
-
- To keep backward compatibility, pspreview category is accepted.
- psfontmgr registers fonts in this category to postscript category.
-
- 2. truetype
-
- This category is obsoleted.
- psfontmgr now deals with XLFDs of truetype fonts provided by x-ttcidfont-conf
- as xfont category.
-
- 3. xfont
-
- This category exists for providing x-postscript category, and is supposed
- to be provided by x-ttcidfont-conf.
- It contains XLFDs of truetype and cid fonts with their hints including
- how they look.
-
- 4. type1
-
- These categories only exist for x-postscript category.
- Fonts in these categories should have 'X-FontName' hint(s),
- which represents the XLFD of the font, if exists.
-
- Defoma-configuration script of psfontmgr will register PostScript fonts
- with '<X>/' added as prefix, to x-postscript category with the
- substitutive XLFD as the hint.
-
- You can get PostScript fonts and their substitutive XLFDs with
- following perl codes.
-
- @psfonts = defoma_font_get_fonts('x-postscript');
- foreach $psfont (@psfonts) {
- my @hints = defoma_font_get_hints('x-postscript', $psfont);
-
- $xfont = $hints[0];
- $psfont =~ s/^\<X\>\///;
- ...
- }
