Amaharic (Ethiopic) in Latex,
Hi, Can any one help me on how to write an Amaharic (Ethiopic) single word in Latex, Emacs, Suse. I have already installed the ifntethi package released from Suse for my version (i.e. Ethiopic (Unicode): ethio16f-uni.bdf and ethio24f-uni.bdf). I could also display the fonts using Emacs for HELLO file which can be viewed (M-x view-hello-file RET). I read the documentation of the latex-ucs package which mentions about Amharic, ucs.ps (Page 27), but was not clear at all. Would you please give me some tips on how can I insert a latex comand in side my english (German) manuscript using UTF-8 as input encoding or what ever? How and what package I should include and one example for any other language than Latin, preferably Amharic?? Thank you in advance. Cordially,

I just tried that and it worked. My small test file UTF8-amharic-german.tex is attached. I used the CODE2000 font for testing. And I did the following preparations according to the instructions from ucs.ps from the latex-ucs package: mfabian@magellan:~$ mkdir -p texmf/fonts/tfm mfabian@magellan:~$ mkdir -p texmf/fonts/truetype mfabian@magellan:~$ cd texmf/fonts/truetype/ mfabian@magellan:~/texmf/fonts/truetype$ ls CODE2000.ttf@ mfabian@magellan:~/texmf/fonts/truetype$ ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/CODE2000.TTF ./CODE2000.ttf mfabian@magellan:~/texmf/fonts/truetype$ Note that the .ttf file extension must be lowercase in the symlink, it won't work with uppercase. mfabian@magellan:~/texmf/fonts/truetype$ cd ../.. mfabian@magellan:~/texmf$ ttf2tfm fonts/truetype/CODE2000.ttf fonts/tfm/code2k@Unicode@ [... lots of output ...] mfabian@magellan:~/texmf$ Many .tfm files have been generated here: mfabian@magellan:~/texmf$ ls fonts/tfm code2k00.tfm code2k34.tfm code2k5f.tfm code2k8b.tfm code2kc0.tfm [...] mfabian@magellan:~/texmf$ Now add the line code2k@Unicode@ CODE2000.ttf to the end of /etc/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map. Have a look into the file /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ucs/contrib/letc2000.fd to see why I used "code2k" as the latex file name. Call "texhash": mfabian@magellan:~/texmf$ texhash texhash: Updating /suse/mfabian/texmf/ls-R... texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R... texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/db/ls-R... texhash: Updating /var/cache/fonts/ls-R... texhash: Done. mfabian@magellan:~/texmf$ After these preparations, latex UTF8-amharic-german.tex dvips UTF8-amharic-german.dvi gv UTF8-amharic-german.ps worked for me. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Apparently the attachment was stripped by the mailing list software, I'll try again with the attachment type text/plain: -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
