-
- cgcharcodes
- -----------
-
- This file lists the standard characters available in the Compugraphic
- fonts and the two byte codes by which they are accessed. It was obtained
- by reverse engineering, so cannot be guaranteed accurate. It does
- however appear to work.
-
- Copy this file into your "CGFonts:" directory, where it will be accessed
- by mkatc.

- JansonTextOSF-Roman
- -------------------
-
- This is an example of a PostScript program that creates a recoded version of
- a single font. It finds the font "JansonText-Roman" and recodes it to
- create "JansonTextOSF-Roman", using the PPageExtOSF encoding.
-
- To use the file, assuming you have the "JansonText-Roman" font, first edit
- it to insert the contents of the encoding file. (The place is marked in
- the source.) Then copy it into "PSFonts:". If you are using Post then the
- font will be automatically loaded it it is needed. If you are using a
- PostScript printer you must first download the original font, then the
- program to recode it, before your print file.
-
- To create a bitmapped version of the font, just run mkbmap. For example:
-
- mkbmap -n JansonOSF/* JansonTextOSF-Roman 12
-
- To create a PPage .metric file run mkmetric. You must use the "-s" option
- so the metric file will be flagged as having a font specific encoding. Then
- PPage will not attempt to recode the font itself. You must still give the
- encoding file, as you do not want the Adobe Standard Encoding that is used
- in the .afm file. For example:
-
- mkmetric -e PSFonts:ppextosf_encoding.ps -s ...
- fonts:JansonOSF.metric JansonText-Roman.afm

- usa1ext
- -------
-
- This is an extended keymap. It is just like usa1, except that the keys
- Alt/; and Alt/' have been added, to give codes 168 and 180 respectively.
- These give access to "dieresis" and "acute" in the standard character set,
- or "trademark" and "quotesingle" in the PPage extended character set.
-
- mkbs and mkms
- -------------
-
- This are shell scripts that build PPage metric files and bitmaps for all
- the PostScript fonts that I use on my machine. You can edit it to generate
- the fonts that you have on yours.
