About the miscellaneous files in this directory
-----------------------------------------------
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.
