Name of contribution: Chinese Font Metrics Version number: 1 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: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The new version of this package includes the following update:

- in order not to mess up TeXLive's map files, now font map lines are loaded runtime through pdfTeX primitives and DVIPDFMx specials. - Since HTH kindly applied a ttc support patch to pdfTeX, now simsun.ttf is renamed to simsun.ttc in the map lines so there is no need for the user to break their ttc fonts manually. Everything should work right out of the box. - a new script, CTeXFonts.lua is included into the scripts directory. This enables the users to convert Chinese TTF files into Type1 subfonts for dvips and dvipdfm.
