Name of contribution: Chinese Font Metrics
Version number: 0.9
Author's name: Yue Wang
Location on CTAN: /fonts
Summary description: TFM subfonts files for using Chinese Fonts in 8-bit TeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese Font Metrics is a set of font metrics for using Chinese fonts under the latex-
>dvipdfmx or pdflatex route. Note, latex->dvips is not supported since dvips can not
embed ttf. In order to use that in dvips, you should create type1 subfonts from
truetype files by your self (perhaps using ttf2pt1 or fontforge).
No actual Chinese TrueType typeface font is provided in the package. If you want to
use this package, bear in mind that a set of ttfs (like sim*.ttf distributed in Simplified
Chinese version of Windows XP) are needed for font embedding. Just copy the
sim*.ttf to corresponding directory enables you to typeset Chinese out of the box. If
you are using other fonts, you might consider adding/modifying the map lines
manually.
the package contained files in three categories :
- fonts/tfm: contained all the tfm metric files for 6 typeface (kai, song, lishu,
fangsong, youyuan, hei) in two widely used character encodings (GBK and UTF-8)
here.
- scripts: in order to make sure that all the above tfms distributed have no legal
problems (since most Chinese TrueType fonts are commercial, and converting that
using ttf2tfm might raise some legal problems) Lingyun Wu wrote a script to
generate the metrics. Lua and pltotf are used to generate the tfms, no actual ttf are
involved thanks to the fact that Chinese characters are monospace font by nature.
- fonts/map and tex/latex/zhwinfonts: default map file (for simsun.ttf, simhei.ttf,
simfang.ttf, simkai,ttf, simli.ttf and simyou.ttf. These fonts are widely used in China)
for pdftex, ttf2pk and dvipdfmx.
The package is created following Yue Wang's article. If you are interested in why this
package can do the magic, that article explains everything, available on
http://bbs.ctex.org/viewthread.php?tid=50078.
This package is licensed in LPPL.

The interface for changing the precision for XDR/binary
files was
simplified; file parameters can now be queried as virtual

New settings zoomfactor, zoomstep, spinstep, arcballradius,
resizestep, and
doubleclick were added. The OpenGL thread is now exited
gracefully; idle
state and other parameters are properly reset on quitting.
Lighting is now
initialized only in home(). Animations with global=false
were fixed.
An improved (and free) psview PostScript viewer is now
suggested for MSDOS
users. A mechanism for disabling annoying warnings like
writeoverloaded
was implemented. The documentation directory under TeXLive

The package supports typesetting documents whose counters
are represented in base twelve, also called “dozenal”. It
includes a macro by David Kastrup for converting positive
whole numbers to dozenal from decimal (base ten)
representation. The package also also includes a few other
macros and redefines all the standard counters to produce
dozenal output.
Fonts, in Roman, italic, slanted, and boldface versions,
provide ten and eleven (the Pitman characters preferred by
the Dozenal Society of Great Britain). The fonts were
designed to blend well with the Computer Modern fonts. As
of Version 2.0, Type 1 versions of the fonts are included.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This version (0.8.9) introduces a new default way of loading
the package, using usepackage{biblatex-chicago} instead of
usepackage{biblatex}, an interface that should be simpler
for those who want the standard settings, and more flexible
for those who don't. I've also added new entry types and
new package options, as well as fixing a number of bugs.
Please see the docs for all the details of these and other
changes.

The perp vector calculation in the solids module was fixed.
A bug in the
mouse motion functions was fixed. A pan action (which
differs from shift
due to perspective distortion) was added to the OpenGl renderer;
the Camera (c) menu item now outputs all camera settings.
The default right
mouse button mouse binding was changed from zoom/menu to
zoom.
User-initiated exports no longer cause the renderer to quit.
Dynamic time stepping was fixed in the ode module; the
integrate
routines now return the array of computed values. Operators
== and != were
added for all built-in arithmetic 2D arrays; a segmentation
fault was
fixed. The etc/fstab kludge for Cygwin 1.7 was removed. The
configuration
directory under TeXLive is now $TEXMFCONFIG/asymptote.

Bug fix for the most recent version of Asymptote. The code
was sitting on my machine for some time, and I neglected to
update my installation of Asymptote for testing before
releasing this package. Thanks to Ricard Torres for alerting
me to the fault.
