Thank you, that file works fine with xpdf-3.00 and CID-keyed-fonts-MOE. -- Mike FABIAN http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

xpdf 3.00 can use CID-keyed fonts for display and for embedding in the PostScript output created for printing now. ....

maybe a stupid question: But how can I print such a PDF file (I used the mycjk.pdf file)? pdf2ps will not work in my installation of SuSE V9 (updated)

You can use "pdftops" (from xpdf) instead of "pdf2ps" (from Ghostscript). Or use the "print" button in the xpdf menu. I cannot reproduce the problem with pdf2ps on SuSE Linux 9.0-i386 though. Works for me on that file. Did you change/update something in your ghostscript-* packages? Or, maybe you use a different platform? pdf2ps did *not* work for me on mycjk.pdf on SuSE Linux 9.0-x86_64.

Now it is working but still a lot of error messages if I use pdf2ps.

By the way, you will also get a better quality when using pdftops instead of pdf2ps, even if pdf2ps works.

...

I cannot reproduce the problem with pdf2ps on SuSE Linux 9.0-i386 though. Works for me on that file. Did you change/update something in your ghostscript-* packages?

No, I just downloaded the version you posted (Adobe support). But the problem also occured before.

You mean you downloaded the ghostscript-cjk package? I don't think that makes any difference here. I was asking about the other ghostscript packages like ghostscript-library.

...

mfabian@rossini:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ pdf2ps mycjk.pdf Error: /rangecheck in --.buildfont11-- Operand stack:

Do you see the same error message?

Yes, this is the same sort of messages. See the error.txt file for details

No, your error message is quite different, it complains about a missing font "ShanHeiSun-Light". Therefore I think this is not related at all to the problem I am seeing on 9.0-x86_64.

I am running my system V9 on a IBM Laptop with Intel mobile (centrino type) processor. Is this the source of the problem?

I don't think so, it works fine for me on SuSE 9.0 on my IBM Thinkpad 600E (Mobile Pentium II). -- Mike FABIAN http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

This is installed (all what needed I guess)

...

????????? what is that?

It is the PostScript name of bsmi00lp.ttf, one of the Arphic PL fonts: mike@kibou:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ ftdump /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/bsmi00lp.ttf | grep postscript postscript: ShanHeiSun-Light mike@kibou:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ This font is in the package mike@kibou:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/tru etype/bsmi00lp.ttf ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp-20001125-478 mike@kibou:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ probably you don't have that package installed. If this package is installed, SuSEconfig.ghostscript-cjk will create the following wrapper file: mike@kibou:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ cat /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFont/ShanHeiSun-Light %!PS-Adobe-3.0 Resource-CIDFont %%Creator: aliascid.ps by Taiji Yamada and gs-cjk project %%BeginResource: CIDFont (ShanHeiSun-Light) (ShanHeiSun-Light) (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/bsmi00lp.ttf) .openttcidfont /CIDFont defineresource pop %%EndResource %%EOF mike@kibou:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ And then your ghostscript (and therefore pdf2ps) will be able to use that font. This font is apparently used in Edward's mycjk.pdf and it is not embedded: mike@kibou:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ pdffonts mycjk.pdf | head -n 8 name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- --------- ASZDTE+wclsm CID TrueType yes yes no 17 0 ASZDTE+NimbusRomNo9L-Regu Type 1 yes yes no 21 0 ShanHeiSun-Light CID TrueType no no no 24 0 ILYMAX+NimbusMonL-Regu Type 1 yes yes no 32 0 ZTUSUM+ZenKai-Medium CID TrueType yes yes no 49 0 CKNRBV+NimbusSanL-Regu Type 1 yes yes no 53 0 mike@kibou:~/test-texts/pdf/traditional-chinese$ I.e. when you install this font and use pdf2ps, you will use exactly the same font as Edward used when creating mycjk.pdf, although the rendering quality of pdf2ps is not that great. If you use pdftops, the CID-keyed font /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFont/MOESung-Regular will be used as a replacement, i.e. you will see a slightly different font, but with better rendering quality. Yes, this is all quite confusing. -- Mike FABIAN http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

OK, maybe at sometime I will understan the miracle (but where is the font from? Adobe?)

MOESung-Regular? It is from the package CID-keyed-fonts-MOE.rpm (on your SuSE CDs or the FTP version of SuSE 9.0). It is a free font converted by Ken Lunde to the CID-keyed format.

Last question: I converted the mycjk.pdf file with pdftops to mycjk.ps . With lpr I tried to print but failed (no reaction). If I try to print from xpdf (the mycjk.pdf file) or gv (the mycjk.ps file) my printer will not print the chinese characters, but just funny letters (my file produces with LaTeX and Japanese works well). Therefore this has to do someting with the (non?) embedded fonts. How to set up the right print queue? Or should this work automatically?

Do you have a PostScript printer? If yes, do *not* set up your print queue as a PostScript queue. Use PCL or whatever. Anything else but PostScript. If you set it up as a PostScript queue, the PostScript interpreter in you printer is expected to have all needed fonts. If you set it up as a non-PostScript queue, Ghostscript is used to interpret the PostScript and it will work if you have the needed fonts installed for Ghostscript. -- Mike FABIAN http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

No, the one the system is missing (using pdf2ps). Is this in the Adobe package?

Still not working. I installed all the arphic fonts from my cd. If I use the command

cat   /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFont/ShanHeiSun-Light

as described in your posting, the following occurs:

cat: /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFont/ShanHeiSun-Light: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

Something missing?

Probably you forgot to run SuSEconfig. This file is created by /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.ghostscript-cjk. Please run "SuSEconfig --module ghostscript-cjk"

Also pdf2ps still not works on mycjk.pdf.

When this file is there it will. -- Mike FABIAN http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
