GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your libraries, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license.
The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License treats it as such.
Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only works together with the library.
Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary General Public License rather than by this special one.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
NO WARRANTY
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

That's all there is to it!
Today many font files are available in various font file formats. When we need a software to display or print characters which does not depend on a windowing system and/or an operating system, we must write interface routines for accessing font files in each application software again and again. To do this, programmers must have knowledge on font file formats; it will be a hard task for programmers if the number of font formats that an application software supports becomes large.
VFlib is a font library written in C providing several functions to obtain bitmaps of characters. VFlib hides the font format of font files and provides a unified API for all supported font formats. Thus, programmers for application software need not have knowledge on font file formats. Instead, any software using VFlib can support various font file formats immediately.
This document describes the fundamental concepts of VFlib and gives a brief introduction in writing programs using VFlib.
As described above, VFlib supports many font file formats and absorbs differences between font file formats. Currently, VFlib supports the following font file formats: PCF, BDF, HBF, TrueType, Type1, GF, PK, Virtual Fonts, TFM, SyotaiKurabu (a vector font format for Japanese Kanji characters), JG (another vector font format for Japanese Kanji characters), and eKanji (a bitmap font format for Kanji characters).
The VFlib system consists of two parts:
Basic concept of VFlib
VFlib uses GNU autoconf and GNU libtool to compile. According to the following procedure, compile and install VFlib.
VFlib (optionally) uses FreeType 1.3.0 or later, T1Lib 1.3 or later, and kpathsea 3.2 libraries. They must be installed before compiling VFlib if you want use them. They are available from the following sites:
% ./configure [RET]By default, VFlib does not support for TrueType and Type1 fonts and TeX font searching by kpathsea library for searching TeX-related font files such as GF, PK, TFM, VF. For such features, VFlib (optionally) uses FreeType library version 1.2 or later for rendering TrueType font files, T1Lib library version 1.3 or later for rendering Type 1 font files, and kpathsea library version 3.2. VFlib can be built to use these libraries by giving options when you run @command{configure} script. Probably, the following is the typical options to configure script to use TrueType and Type 1 fonts and font search feature by kpathsea library.
% ./configure \
--with-kpathsea \
--with-kpathsea-includedir=/usr/local/include \
--with-kpathsea-libdir=/usr/local/lib
--with-freetype \
--with-freetype-includedir=/usr/local/include/freetype \
--with-freetype-libdir=/usr/local/lib"
--with-t1lib \
--with-t1lib-includedir=/usr/local/include \
--with-t1lib-libdir=/usr/local/lib [RET]
Note:
See the @command{configure-site} script;
it invokes the @command{configure} script with typical settings shown above.
Options for configure script is as follows:
ttf.
(Application programs must be linked against
`libLIB.a' or `libLIB.so'.)
t1.
(Application programs must be linked against
`libLIB.a' or `libLIB.so'.)
kpathsea.
(Application programs must be linked against
`libLIB.a' or `libLIB.so'.)
% make [RET]
# make install [RET]
Installation directories are as follows:
VFLIB_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY.
If this environment variable is not set, the default
directory (`/usr/local/share/VFlib/3.6.12/') is used.
Under this directory, there are following subdirectories:
VFLIB_CCV_DIRECTORY.
If this variable is set, default runtime directory and
the value by VFLIB_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY variable are ignored.
VFLIB_ASCII_JTEX_DIRECTORY.
If this variable is set, default runtime directory and
the value by VFLIB_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY variable are ignored.
VFLIB_RUNTIME_SITE_DIRECTORY.
Install directories can be changed when you run configure
script by the @option{--prefix=} option, for example.
Invoke @command{configure} with @option{--help} option for details.
A bitmap object is a structure of the following:
struct vf_s_bitmap {
int bbx_width, bbx_height; /* in pixels */
int off_x, off_y; /* in pixels */
int mv_x, mv_y; /* in pixels */
unsigned char* bitmap;
int raster;
};
typedef struct vf_s_bitmap* VF_BITMAP;
bbx_width and bbx_height are the bitmap width and height.
A pair of off_x and off_y) forms a vector to the
left-upper corner of the bitmap from the reference point.
A pair of mv_x and mv_y is a vector
to the next reference point from the current reference point.
(Positive values indicate a move into the right and upper
direction respectively.)
The unit of bbx_width, bbx_height,
off_x, off_y, mv_x, and mv_y is pixels.
bitmap is a pointer to the bitmap data; one pixel
corresponds to one bit.
The left upper corner is the beginning
of the bitmap data, and a raster line is defined as a horizontal
line from the left to the right corner of the glyph bitmap.
bitmap is a sequence of raster lines starting from the top to
the bottom. The distance (in bytes) of two consecutive raster
lines in memory is given by raster. Although the raster line
length of a bitmap is (bbx_width+7)/8, it is not guaranteed that
this value is the same as raster.
The type of bitmap is a pointer to unsigned char data object,
and each unsigned char data object contains eight pixels.
Let P[0] be the start address of a raster line. The x-th
pixel counted from the leftmost pixel (which is pixel 0) is 1 if and only if
P[x/8] & (0x80>>(x%8)) is non-zero.
If bbx_width
is not a multiple of 8, there exist bits that do not correspond
to any pixels but their values are always zero.
Even if bbx_width and/or bbx_height are zero, at least one
byte is allocated for the bitmap data. Thus, bitmap is always
non-NULL.
A metric1 object is a structure of the following:
struct vf_s_metric1 {
double bbx_width, bbx_height; /* in points */
double off_x, off_y; /* in points */
double mv_x, mv_y; /* in points */
};
typedef struct vf_s_metric1* VF_METRIC1;
The members of this structure are the same as the members of a bitmap object but the members' unit is point.
A metric2 object is a structure of the following:
struct vf_s_metric2 {
int bbx_width, bbx_height; /* in pixels */
int off_x, off_y; /* in pixels */
int mv_x, mv_y; /* in pixels */
};
typedef struct vf_s_metric2* VF_METRIC2;
The members of this structure are the same as the members of a bitmap object, and the members' unit is pixel also.
VFlib defines its private outline data formats for presenting
vector data of characters.
This data format is used by VFlib API functions
VF_GetOutline() and VF_OutlineToBitmap().
Each font driver returns a outline data of a character of a font
if a font driver of that font supports VF_GetOutline() function.
Even if data format of a font is different from VFlib-format,
a font driver converts outline data to VFlib-format data.
For instance, the PCF font driver (note that PCF is a bitmap font format)
supports VF_GetOutline() function and it constructs and return
an outline data which is a set of square; each square corresponds
to a pixel of a bitmap.
Note that not all font drivers support VF_GetOutline() function,
but most of them do.
The developer of font drivers are strongly recommented to
implement this feature even if the font font format is bitmap-based.
(The function is supported by BDF, PCF, HBF, PK, GF, TFM, Zeit, JG,
TrueType, and Type 1 font drivers.)
Outline data is defined as follows:
/* Outline data */ typedef long VF_OUTLINE_ELEM; typedef VF_OUTLINE_ELEM *VF_OUTLINE;
According to CPU architecture, VF_OUTLINE_ELEM
is defined as int if size of long is 8.
typedef long VF_OUTLINE_ELEM;
Outline data is an array of VF_OUTLINE_ELEM type
(long or int type).
Outline data consists from two parts: header and outline.
The header part contains metric data and outline part contains
outline representation of a character.
Documentation for this feature is not finished.
See the source code (e.g., VFlib-3_6.h, raster.c,
bm2ol, for example) for further information.
VF_Init()int VF_Init(char* vflibcap, char* variable_list)
/usr/local/lib/VFlib/3.6.12/vflibcap).
Searching of a vflibcap file is done in the following way.
First, VFlib try to open a file as given to the first argument.
(That is, VFlib searches it relative to current working directory.)
If not found, then VFlib try to open the file under
default runtime directory (e.g., /usr/local/lib/VFlib/3.6.12/).
For example, vflibcap-tex is given, VFlib first look for
vflibcap-tex in current directory, and then, it looks for
the file under runtime directory.
Default runtime directory can be changed by an environment variable
VFLIB_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY on runtime.
If an environment variable VFLIB_VFLIBCAP_PATH is set,
the first argument of this function is ignored and
its value is used.
If an environment variable VFLIB_VFLIBCAP_DIRECTORY is set,
a vflibcap file is searched under a directory sepecified by this
environment variable.
variable_list is a list of parameters passed to VFlib.
This is used to specify values of parameterized vflibcap
files. (See basic.txt for parameterized vflibcap file.)
The type of this argument is a string and its syntax is a sequence of
Variable=Value, separated by a comma ,.
For example, DPI=400, LEVEL=1, FOO=bar.

VF_OpenFont1().
Size of bitmap to be obtained can be specified by
mag_x and mag_y arguments.
VF_FreeBitmap().
The font may not have the specified size; in such case,
VFlib internally enlarges or shrinks the glyph to obtain
a bitmap of the requested size.
VF_GetBitmap2()
VF_BITMAP VF_GetBitmap2(int font_id, long code_point,
double mag_x, double mag_y)
VF_OpenFont2().
Size of bitmap to be obtained can be specified by pixel_size,
mag_x and mag_y arguments.

The font may not have the specified size; in such case,
VFlib internally enlarges or shrinks the glyph to obtain
a bitmap of the requested size.

double point_size,
double mag_x, double mag_y)
VF_GetBitmap1(). The outline data
contains information on device resolution and point size
specified by VF_GetOutline(). (If not specified, default
values are used. Thus, bitmaps with a default size can be
obtained by giving -1 for the arguments).

This function rotates a bitmap with the reference point as origin.
The vector to the next reference point is also rotated.
Therefore, position of the reference point
and a vector to the next reference point
of
VF_RotatedBitmap(bm, VF_BM_ROTATE_180)
and that of
VF_ReflectedBitmap(bm, 1, 1)
are different.

int VF_InstallFontDriver(char* class_name,
int(*driver)(VF_FONT font,
char* class_name,
char* font_name,
int implicit_flag));
VF_OpenFont1() and VF_OpenFont2().
The function driver is called with parameters of the font
to be opened: font is a data object for font management
defined by VFlib internally. class_name is the font
class name. font_name is the name of the font to be
opened. This argument is the same as the argument of
VF_OpenFont1() and VF_OpenFont2().
implicit_font is
a flag whose value is 1 if a font is to be opened as an
implicit font (a font which does not explicitly appear in
vflibcap) and 0 if it is to be opened as an explicit font
(a font that does appear in vflibcap).
An application software that use VFlib must include a header file `VFlib-3_6.h'. Typically, this file is installed `/usr/local/include/' directory.
Never forget, that application software that uses VFlib must be linked against FreeType 1.2 or later (`libttf.a' or `libttf.so'), T1Lib 1.0 or later (`libt1.a' or `libt1.so'), and kpathsea 3.2 (`libkpathsea.a' or `libkpathsea.so'), if you configure VFlib to use them. (If VFlib is configured not to use them, they are not necessary.)
I recommend shared library versions for these optional libraries if you built a shared library version of VFlib.
#include <VFlib-3_6.h>
VFlib must be initialized before it is used.
char* vflibcap = "vflibcap";
char* params = "TeX_DPI=300, KPATHSEA_MODE=cx";
if (VF_Init(vflibcap, params) < 0){
fprintf(stderr, "Initializing VFlib: failed\n");
exit(1);
}
Following program fragment opens a font, obtains a bitmap, and print obtained bitmap.
int fid;
VF_BITMAP bm;
if ((fid = VF_OpenFont2("timR24.pcf", -1, 1.0, 1.0)) < 0){
fprintf(stderr, "Opening font: failed\n");
exit(1);
}
bm = VF_GetBitmap2(fid, 0x67, 1.0, 1.0);
VF_DumpBitmap(bm);
The following program code is a "banner" like using VFlib. For simplicity, this program accepts only 1-byte encoded characters. It reads an input from standard input and prints characters in ascii-art form to standard output.

By the following commands is used to comple the program.
% gcc -c `VFlib3-config --cflags` vflbanner.c % gcc -o vflbanner vflbanner.o `VFlib3-config --libs`
@command{VFlib3-config} is a program to print misc information on configuration of VFlib. It prints C compiler option to specify include directory (@option{--cflags}), dependent libraries (@option{--libs}), for example. Run @command{VFlib3-config} with @option{--help} option for detail.
A vflibcap file is a database of font definitions for the VFlib library. A vflibcap font definition is described in a format similar to termcap and printcap. Vflibcap provides logical font names and logical font names may not corresponds to font files to be accessed. In this document, we simply say "font" to denote logical fonts.
Each VFlib fonts have its own parameters listed below:
These parameters may not be available in font file. For instance, these parameters are lacking in TrueType fonts. Lacking information is given in vflibcap file, or it is given by a font driver as default values.
Note: If you want to use VFlib for TeX DVI drivers, such as previewers and pronter driver, use @command{vflmkcaptex} program to generate vflibcap file automatically.
The syntax of vflibcap file is lisp-like form.
A semicolon ; starts a comment and following
text is ignored until the end of line.
A colon in a string which is enclosed by double colons is not
considered as a comment character and forms a part of string.
In the following explanation, we ignore comments.
A vflibcap file is a sequence of expressions called s-expressions. Basic data item of s-expression is string. Unlike lisp, there is no "number" type. A sequence of digits is parsed as a string. To include a special characters in a string such as double quotation, control code, and parenthesis, escape sequence can be used. String is a sequence of characters of the following form:
"hello world" "a, b, c, d" "He said \"Thanks!\"." "a*(b+c)"
font-file hello\ world He\ said\ \"Thanks!\". a*\(b+c\)
Unlink lisp, there is no distinction between string and symbol in
vflibcap; they are the same data type.
That is, HELLO and "HELLO" are the same.
Parentheses is used to form a "list" like in lisp.
For example, (A B C) is a list of three strings.
List can be nested any depth, e.g.,
(A (B1 B2 B3) (C1 (C21 C22) C3)).
A vflibcap must be a sequence of s-expression of the following forms:
(define-default FONT-CLASS CAPABILITY-DEF ... )
(define-font NAME CAPABILITY-DEF ... )
(define-macro NAME CAPABILITY-DEF ... )
CAPABILITY-DEF must be a list of form
(CAPABILITY-NAME VALUE),
e.g., (font-file "/usr/local/share/fonts/".
Each font class defines its own set of capabilities and
capability sets can be different by font classes.
This is an example of vflibcap file.
;; vflibcap
(define-default VFlib
(extension-hints (".bdf" bdf) (".pcf" pcf))
(uncompression-programs (".Z" "zcat") (".gz" "gzip -cd")
("pk" ascii-jtex-kanji))
(implicit-font-classes bdf pcf hbf ascii-jtex-kanji)
(variable-values ("TeX_DPI" "300"))
(define-default bdf
(filename-extensions ".bdf")
(font-directories
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts//" "/usr/local/share/fonts/X11//")
(compression-extensions ".gz" ".Z"))
(define-font timR24 ; times roman 24
(font-class bdf)
(font-file "timR24.bdf"))
(define-font timR18 ; times roman 18
(font-class bdf)
(font-file "timR18.bdf"))
To avoid writing the same capabilities, macro feature is provided in vflib. In case of CAPABILITY-DEF is a string, it is treated as a macro and a macro definition for it is expanded. For instance,
(define-font timR18 MACRO-NAME (font-file "timR18.bdf"))
is a font definition using a macro MACRO-NAME.
Suppose a macro MACRO-NAME is defined as follows.
(define-macro MACRO-NAME (font-class bdf) (dpi 300))
Then, the font definition for timR24 is the same as follow.
(define-font timR18 (font-class bdf) (dpi 300)) (font-file "timR18.bdf"))
The rule of macr expand is as following procedure.
Some font classes (e.g., BDF, PCF) defines a font-directories
capability in vflibcap file.
This capability specifies a list of font directories, for instance,
(font-directories "/usr/local/fonts/" "/opt/fonts" "/usr/local/share/fonts//").
A font file can be searched recursively in a directory tree
if a font directory name ends by double slashes //.
Some font drivers support file search by kpathsea.
Typically, font files are located under `/usr/local/share/texmf'.
This directory is used to hold TeX-related files.
If a font driver supports searching by kpathsea,
a special name TEXMF can be given in a list of
font-directories capability. For instance,
suppose that
(font-directories "/opt1/fonts//" "TEXMF" "/opt2/fonts//")
is specified. Then files are searched under /opt1/fonts,
by kpathsea, and then /opt2/fonts, in this order.
Currently, pk, gf, tfm, vf, truetype, and type1 font classes suport searcing files by kpathsea.
In case there are many font directories and sub-directory
which contains many font file, searching a font file take long time,
since font directories are traversed to find a requested font file.
For fast font file search,
font file hint database (FDB for short) can be used.
It is placed in a root of a font directory, and
it contains pairs of font file name and relative pathname of the font file
from the font directory.
The file name of FDB is VFlib.fdb.
The following is an example of FDB file.
times__m.pfb type1/t/times__m.pfb times__m.afm type1/t/times__m.afm zac_____.ttf ttf/z/zac_____.ttf zalescap.ttf ttf/z/zalescap.ttf
Suppose that this FDB file is located in `/foo/bar/', for instance. The file tells us that there is a file `times__m.pfb' and absolute path name of the file is `/foo/bar/type1/t/times__m.pfb'.
If FDB file is found in a root directory of font directory, the FDB file is opened to find a requested font file. If a requested font file is not found, other font directory is searched, i.e., the directory is not traversed at all. In case FDB file is not found, a font directory is traversed to find a requested font file.
It is important to remember that
you must not forget to update FDB file after you
added new font files in a font directory.
If you forget, installed font files are not found evenif they are
in a font directory.
To update a FDB file, run the utility program vflmkfdb.
See section vflmkfdb, for details of the program.
A FDB file must be located in a root of a font directory and its name must be `VFlib.fdb'. Even if there is a FDB file in a sub-directory of a font directory, VFlib does not look for it.
To reduce disk storage, compressed font files and uncompression on the fly is supported by some font class. Note that this feature is font class dependent and not all font class support this.
In a vflibcap file, a font file name need not have a compressed type
extension, such as .gz.
When VFlib searches a font file, it internally adds compressed
type extension and finds a file.
Fonts explicitly defined in a vflibcap file are called explicit fonts. Fonts does not appear vflibcap file and searched by font drivers on demand are called implicit fonts.
In a vflibcap file, variables can be used as capability values.
A capability value can be a value of a variable if a dollar sign
($) followed by a variable name is given.
For instance, (dpi $TeX_DPI) can be used instead of (dpi 300).
The value for a variable must be defined somewhere.
Default value can be given in (define-default VFlib ...), which
will be explained later.
Default values can be overridden on initialization function of
VFlib VF_Init(), or Unix environment variables
VFLIBCAP_PARAM_var.
For example, VFLIBCAP_PARAM_TeX_DPI is defined, its value becomes the
value of the vflibcap variable TeX_DPI.
The value of an environment variable VFLIBCAP_PARAM_var
is parsed as an S-expression, not as an string.
Thus, if you want to specify a string ABC 123,
the value of an environment variablue must be \"abc 123\".
(Without double quotation, it will be a sequence of two strings.
Only the first one is effective and the second one is ignored.)
To specify global behavior of VFlib, (virtual) font class
VFlib is defined.
The following capability are defined.

Conversion is done by by code conversion system, called CCV.
section Code conversion system
Code conversion files are specified in
code-conversion-files in VFlib font class default.
See section VFlib defaults.
For example, a font of JIS X 0208 character set (a Japanese character set)
in Shift-JIS encoding fonts can be accessed as a JIS encoding font.

(Use ftdump utility of FreeType package to check
internal encoding scheme of fonts.)
Type1 is a vector font font format used by PostScript. This font class supports implicit fonts but does not support compressed font files. This Type1 font driver uses T1Lib library version 1.0 or later developed by Rainer Menzner. See http://www.neuroinformatik.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/ini/PEOPLE/rmz/t1lib/t1lib.html for detail.
Be careful, VFlib does not work with T1Lib 0.7. Obtain and install T1Lib 1.0 or later.
Currently, this font driver supports only 8-bit encoded fonts, i.e., it does not support for fonts of Japanese Kanji characters.
The function VF_GetOutline() for Type1 font files is
supported but the result is ugly.
Since T1Lib does not have a function to obtain outline data of a
character in Type1 font,
this font driver creates an outline data from a bitmap
(for compatibility).
Thus, it is very ugly.
If your application software requires outline data,
you are recommended to use the same font in other font format,
such as TrueType.
Thus, the outline obtained VF_GetOutline() function for Type1 font
should be used only when
the same font in other font format is not available.

T1Lib adopts file format for encoding vector file.
When we want to use encoding vector files supplied by @command{dvips},
we must convert them into T1Lib format.
To automate this, you can use a Unix Shell script @command{mkt1enc.sh}
which is in /usr/local/share/VFlib/x.y.z/t1lib/ directory.
Encoding vector files for @command{dvips} are converted
into T1Lib format and they are also installed in this directory.

The eKanji font format is a bitmap font format for Kanji characters. The first character in an eKanji font file has code point 1, and the second character has code point 2. That is, characters in an eKanji font are numbered sequentially starting from 1. (This encoding scheme can be changed by setting some capabilities.)

No effect, i.e., font encoding is not changed.
subblocks-94x94 B
An eKanji font file is virtually divided by 94x94 sub blocks
(blocks of 94x94 = 8836 characters)
and selects B-th block for this font definition.
This implies that an eKanji font file with this capability offers only
8836 (= 94x94) characters among all the characters of an eKanji font file.
The first sub block is numbered zero.
(A font with B = 0 for this capability selects the first sub block.)
Characters with character code from 8836*B+1 to 8836*B+8836
in an eKanji font file is accessed by character code
from 0x2121 to 0x7e7e.
subblocks-94x60 B
This is similar to the case for subblocks-94x60.
An eKanji font file is virtually divided by 94x60 sub blocks
(blocks of 94x60 = 5640 characters)
and selects B-th block for this font definition.
The first sub block is numbered zero.
Characters with character code from 5640*B+1 to 5640*B+5640
in an eKanji font file is accessed by character code
from 0x3021 to 0x4e7e (first 30 rows) and
from 0x5021 to 0x6e7e (another 30 rows).
(This division scheme is the same as Mojikyo scheme.)
with-offset OFFS
An offset value OFFS is added to obtain
character code of a character in an eKanji font file.
When OFFS is -0x4dff,
the first character in an eKanji font file is accessed by
code number 0x4e00, since 0x4e00 + (-0x4dff) = 1.

This is a special font class to define common default values of TeX-related font classes.
This font class has a feature to map a requested font to another font. Thus, this class is also called "TeX font mapping class" or "TeX font mapper". TeX-related font classes include the followings: GF, PK, TFM, VF, ASCII Japanese TeX.
This font class supports only implicit fonts and
explicit fonts is not supported.
Therefore, the driver name of this font class must be given in
extension-hints and/or implicit-font-classes capabilities
in the VFlib default description
if you want to use the font mapping feature of this class.
Mapped font is recursively (recursively) requested to open and
any operations such as obtaining bitmaps on the requested font are
applied on the mapped font.
Font class name: TeX
Capabilities for font class default:
dpi (optional)
tfm-directories (optional)
TEXMF, kpathsea is invoked to
search a file.
example: (tfm-directories "TEXMF" "/usr/local/share/font/tfm//")
tfm-filename-extensions (optional)
(tfm-filename-extensions "tfm")
font-mapping (optional)
(font-mapping ((DRIVER-NAME MAPPING-FORMAT FONT-OPEN-OPTIONS) ... FONT-NAME FONT-NAME ...) ((DRIVER-NAME MAPPING-FORMAT FONT-OPEN-OPTIONS) ... FONT-NAME FONT-NAME ...) ...)Thus, value for this capability is a sequence of items
((DRIVER-NAME MAPPING-FORMAT FONT-OPEN-OPTIONS) ...
FONT-NAME FONT-NAME ...), and this forms a mapping rule.
FONT-NAME is a font name and this rule applies if
requested font name matches FONT-NAME.
(FONT-NAME is a name without directory and extension parts.
A font name requested to open is compared with FONT-NAME
by deleting directory and extension parts.)
If FONT-NAME contains * character,
it matches to the rest of requested font name.
For example, cm* matches cmr10 and cmbx10.
Thus, in case FONT-NAME is *, all fonts matches and thus all fonts
applies the rule.
The font name is mapped according to the format MAPPING-FORMAT and
mapped name is opened by calling a font driver DRIVER-NAME.
VF_OpenFont1() and VF_OpenFont2() are not used.
(As a special case, when DRIVER-NAME is *,
VF_OpenFont1() or VF_OpenFont2() is used to open
a mapped font.)
The syntax of MAPPING-FORMAT is similar to a format string of
printf() function in C library,
but conversion characters and semantics are different.
Conversion specification is introduced by % character.
Non-conversion characters are simply copied and
conversion specifications are substituted for the following:
%%
% character
%f
%d
%e
/foo/bar/qwe.300pk is the requested font name.
Then %f is qwe, %d is 300,
and %e is pk.
A conversion specification will be null string if

In general, mapped fonts are opened with the same parameters
(device resolution, magnification factors, point or pixel size)
of the requested font.
Such parameters can be changed by optional FONT-OPEN-OPTIONS part.
Following descriptions can be used for FONT-OPEN-OPTIONS:
We can specify multiple
(DRIVER-NAME MAPPING-FORMAT FONT-OPEN-OPTIONS)
in a rule description.
This is useful if we need to write multiple mapping rules
for the same set of fonts.
A font is opened by the following way.
(font-mapping ((ascii-jtex-kanji "%f.jtex") "min*" "goth*" "tmin*" "tgoth*") ((type1 "%f.pfb" point-size-from-tfm (magnification-adjustment 1.0)) *) ((pk "%f.%dpk") (gf "%f.%dgf") (tfm "%f.tfm") *))For this example, suppose that
min10.300pk is requested to open.
min* is in the
font list.
The ascii-jtex-kanji driver is invoked to open a mapped name
min10.jtex. If it is opened, font open succeeds;
min10.jtex is used as min10.300pk and font open finishes.
If the font is not opened, continue to the next step.
* is given in
the font list.
The type1 driver is invoked to open a mapped name min10.pfb.
If it is opened, min10.jtex is used as min10.300pk
and font open finishes.
If the font is not opened, continue to the next step.
* is given in
the font list.
pk driver is invoked to open a mapped name min10.300pk.
If it is not opened, next mapping is attempted.
gf driver is invoked to open a mapped name min10.300gf.
If it is not opened, next mapping is attempted.
tfm driver is invoked to open a mapped name min10.tfm.
cmr10.300pk fails.
point-size-from-tfm (optional)
--- When a mapped font is opened (in mode 1, high resolution oriented mode),
point size which is obtained from a TFM file is given.
This is necessary when we use TrueType and/or Type1 fonts for mapped fonts.
For example, "cmr10.ttf" and "cmr10.pfb" in the BaKoMa font set do not
have point size information,
since TrueType and Type1 format fonts cannot have information on point size.
(magnification-adjustment mag) (optional)
--- Mapped fonts are opened with magnification factors magnified
by mag. This can be used to adjust size of mapped fonts.
But most of the case, this is not necessary.
resolution-accuracy (optional)
resolution-corrections (optional)
(resolution-accuracy ACCURACY) (resolution-corrections (DEVICE-RESOLUTION FONT-RESOLION FONT-RESOLION ... ) (DEVICE-RESOLUTION FONT-RESOLION FONT-RESOLION ... ) ...)DEVICE-RESOLUTION is the resolution of target device in DPI and FONT-RESOLUTION is a font resolution value. To find a font file, font resolution is computed by device resolution times magnification factor. Then, this driver finds a list
(DEVICE-RESOLUTION FONT-RESOLUTION
FONT-RESOLUTION ... )
such that DEVICE-RESOLUTION is the same as resolution of target device.
(If there is no such list is the capability value,
font file resolution is not corrected and computed value is used.)
For each FONT-RESOLUTION in the list, the driver checks
if the computed font file resolution is in the range
from FONT-RESOLUTION times (1-ACCURACY)
to FONT-RESOLUTION times (1+ACCURACY).
If the computed resolution is in the range,
font file resolution is changed to FONT-RESOLUTION.
Then, a font file is searched by the corrected font file resolution.
example:
(resolution-accuracy 0.02) (resolution-corrections (300 ;; cx 300 329 360 432 518 622 746 896 1075 1290 240 270) (600 ;; ljfour 600 657 720 864 1037 1244 1493 1792 2150 2580 480 540))Be careful not to map to the same name! Otherwise, font open will be an infinite loop. (VFlib restricts the depth of nested font open. Even if the font name is mapped to the same name, VFlib will detects an error, anyway.)

variable-values (optional)
PK fonts are bitmap fonts used by TeX system.
PK font driver provides a logical view of PK fonts when a
font is requested to open as an implicit font;
if a given font filename is cmr10.pk,
requested device resolution is 300 and magnification is 1.2,
then PK font driver looks for a font file cmr10.360pk.
Thus, font names (for font open) should not be the same as
font filenames on filesystems.
To search a font file, the kpathsea library can be used.
A special name TEXMF in a list of font directories
(capability font-directories) is used to search
a file by kpathsea.
To enable kpathsea, the value for use-kpathsea capability
in VFlib class default must be "Yes".
This font class supports compressed font files and implicit fonts.

TFM files contains only metric information for typesetting TeX documents. This font class provides fonts whose metrics are defined by TFM font files. Since TFM files do not have glyph, glyph of a font of this font class are (black or white) rectangles. Fonts of this font class can be used as substitutes of PK, GF, or VF files in case they are missing.
If the file is not found, it is searched by font-directories
capability given in TFM font class default description.
Note that the extension of font files (given by the
filename-extensions capability) has no effect
for searching by kpathsea library.
The extension of font files must be ".tfm".
See kpathsea manual for detail.

This font class handles Virtual Font files. A virtual font consists of a font program and subfonts. A font program in a vf file is similar to DVI file formats. Glyph of a virtual font are constructed from a box instruction in a font program and glyph taken from subfonts. Therefore, this font class requires a font mapping rule to obtain glyph from subfonts. You can specify VFlib not to open subfonts of a virtual font in case of subfonts are unavailable.

This is for Kanji fonts of Japanese TeX localized by ASCII Co.
This font driver provides Kanji fonts that can be accessed
as if they were PK fonts by using another VFlib font.
Font metrics of Kanji characters defined by ASCII jTeX
may not match that of a Kanji font to be used.
This case happens when jiskan24.pcf font is used
as a Japanese Kanji font for TeX.
This font driver works as a filter that
modifies font metrics of another font.
Change of font metrics is defined by an external file
called adjustment file.
See sample distribution of adjustment files for their syntax.
(Not documented now...)
Font metrics of a font of this class is defined by a TFM font; a vector to the next reference point is taken from a TFM file. A vector to upper left corner of a bitmap is taken from subfont. Then, font metrics is modified according to an adjustment file.
This driver supports vertical writing. In case fonts for vertical writing are not available, the driver rotates glyph of some characters, e,g, parenthesis, to yield (possible) correct glyph.

This font driver is specific to the Mojikyo font files, which is a huge collection (more than 80 thousand) of Kanji characters. (Access http://www.mojikyo.gr.jp/ for detail.) The Mojikyo font is supplied by a set of font files, since the number of characters is too huge to contain in a single font file.
The Mojikyo font defines its own character encoding, staring from 1 and each character has its own character code. (Character codes are not the codes in a font file.) The Mojikyo font set is supplied by both TrueType and Type 1 formats. A single character space of the Mojikyo is divided into font file number and character code in a font file. This means that we must compute font file among many font files and code point in a font file to obtain a glyph of Mojikyo characters. To avoid such complex procedure, this font driver provides a virtual single font.
Note that this font driver only delegates requested characters to other font driver (TrueType or Type 1). Therefore, TrueType and/or Type 1 font driver must be configured in VFlib and they must be propopery set up in a vflibcap file.
Font class name: mojikyo-mapper
Capabilities for font class default:
properties (optional)
variable-values (optional)
Capabilities for font definition:
font-class (essential)
mojikyo-mapper.
division-scheme (optional)
truetype is given for this capability,
underlaying font files are in TrueType format.
If type1 is given for this capability,
underlaying font files are in Type 1 format.
Default value for this capability is truetype.
Aliases of division scheme names are defined as follows:
ttf is an alias of truetype, and
pfb is an alias of type1.
subfont-name-format (optional)
truetype is selected for division-scheme capability,
Mojik%d.ttf is assumed for this capability by default.
%d in Mojik%d.ttf is substituted by font number,
starting from 101.
If type1 is selected for division-scheme capability,
mo%dm%02d.pfb is assumed for this capability by default.
The first %d in mo%dm%02d.pfb is a major font number,
starting from 101.
The second %d in mo%dm%02d.pfb is a minor font number,
starting from 6.
In case you want to use a font name format other than described above,
this capability should be defined.
Note that format sting should contain exactly one %d
if you select truetype division scheme,
and exactly two %ds if you select type1 division scheme.
truetype-subfont-encoding (optional)
truetype division scheme
is selected.
This capability selects character encoding scheme of underlaying
TrueType font files.
If unicode is given to this capability,
underlaying TrueType fonts are encoded in Unicode.
If iso-2022 (as aliases, iso2022 or jis can
be used) is given to this capability, underlaying TrueType fonts
are encoded in ISO 2022 (JIS).
Default value is unicode, which is the same as the
the Mojikyo font files in TrueType format.

This vflibcap file is an example for TeX DVI drivers.
This vflibcap file provides a set of fonts of the form
NAME.DVIpk and NAME.pk.
For example, cmr10.300pk and cmr10.pk.
For Japanese Kanji character fonts
min5 ... min10, goth5 ... goth10,
tmin5 .. tmin10, tgoth5 ... tgoth10,
X Window PCF format font jiskan24.pcf is used via
ascii-jtex-kanji font driver.
Other fonts are solved in PK and GF format fonts. If a font is not available in these formats, a TFM font is used to produce a "black" box. (TFM files are metrics files and do not conatin glyph. But TFM driver in VFlib produces a "box" glyph as it ware font files.)
Parameters of device resolution and magnification factor for
the function VF_OpenFont1() determines the font size
and font metrics to be opened.
To use VFlib with this vflibcap file,
I recommend to open font by
VF_OpenFont1(name.pk, dpi, dpi, -1, mag, mag),
where
name.pk is a font name (e.g., cmr10.pk),
dpi is the device resolution in dpi (e.g., 300),
and mag is the magnification factor (e.g., 1.2 for
magstep 1 fonts).

There is no utility programs that checks syntax of a vflibcap file. But VFlib checks syntax of vflibcap file when a font driver is initialized or a font is opened.
VFlib prints a message to inform a user if syntax is illegal, undefined capability is used (this may be a typographical error), essential capability is missing, an undefined macro is used, or forms of capability values are illegal.
The following Unix environment variables are used to print debugging messages.
VFLIB_DEBUG_FONT_OPEN
VFLIB_DEBUG_FONT_SEARCH
VFLIB_DEBUG_VFLIBCAP
VFLIB_DEBUG_PARAMETERS
VFLIB_DEBUG_CCV
VFLIB_DEBUG_CCV_MAPPING
Code conversion system (CCV) is used to convert from a character set and an encoding to another. For example, a font of Unicode character set and Unicode encoding can be accessed as ISO 8859-2 character set of ISO encoding by encoding conversion. TrueType font class makes use of this feature to hide invisible internal font encoding scheme and provides desired external view to users.
Conversion rule is given by one of the following two methods
code-conversion-files
capability of VFlib default.
Each conversion rule has the following information.
On invocation of VFlib, these information is read from each CCV files. (CCV files are not fully loaded at initialization of VFlib; VFlib just checks relation of conversion. Conversion tables, which can be large, are loaded on demand.) In addition, when VFlib is initialized, internal CCV functions are installed and these information is given for each conversion function.
"EXTERNAL" means external view (i.e., user side encoding) and "INTERNAL" means internal view (i.e., font encoding). Users can define arbitrary charset and encoding names, except that some font driver may predefined names for internal use. (TrueType font driver uses some predefined names, such as "unicode".)
CCV system has a conversion table searching mechanism.
Table is searched by source charset/encoding names and destination
charset/encoding names. If there is a CCV file listed in
code_conversion_files capability of VFlib defaults
entry in vflibcap that matches charset and encoding name,
the CCV file is dynamically loaded and used for code conversion.
For example, a CCV file iso8859-1_unicode.ccv has the following charset/encoding names:
By this CCV file, a unicode font can be viewed as a ISO encoding of ISO 8859-1 charset. (It is very important to note that names are just symbols and not have any meaning; in the above example, conversion to ISO encoding is implemented by conversion table body in CCV file.)
In the current implementation, BDF, PCF, HBF, and TrueType font drivers use CCV system. In the following, how TrueType font driver uses CCV is described.
Each TrueType font has information about charset name and encoding
name of the font. When a font entry is defined in vflibcap file
and encoding and character-set capability is defined,
say, E and C respectively. According to internal charset
and encoding information of TrueType font, the driver searches
a CCV table, when the VFlib font is opened, that matches
the following conversion relation.
If not found, conversion is impossible. If found, a CCV file found
is used. After a font is opened, CCV table is used
for converting code points for VFlib operation such as
VF_GetBitmap1().
VFlib has several hardcoded CCV functions. Followings CCV functions are implemented.
ISO2022) to Shift JIS (SJIS)
SJIS) to ISO 2022 (ISO2022)
EUC) to ISO 2022 (ISO2022)

ISO2022) to Row-Cell (Row-Cell)
ISO2022) to WanSung (WanSung)
Row-Cell) to WanSung (WanSung)
ISO2022) to Sequential Numbering
(Sequential2-0 and Sequential2-1)
By these encoding schemes, characters are numbered sequentially
starting from 0 (Sequential2-0) or 1 (Sequential2-1).
That is, Sequential2-0 encoding is an encoding such that
code of the first character is 0,
code of the second is 1, ..., and
code of the i-th character is (i-1).
Sequential2-1 encoding is an encoding such that
code of the first character is 1,
code of the second is 2, ..., and
code of the i-th is (i).
External code point must be encoded two-byte, i.e., 0x2121...7e7e.
These values are converted to 0...8835 or 1...8836.
Encoding name JIS is defined as an alias of ISO2022.
Encoding name Ku-Ten is defined as an alias of Row-Cell.
Note that these aliases are defined only for hardcorded CCV functions.
All of these are implemented simple arithmetic and large conversion tables are not necessary in memory.
The syntax of CCV files is lisp-like notation, similar to vflibcap files. The CCV file defines its own directive set, explained below. A code conversion table is divided in several sub-tables to reduce the file size (and memory size when the file is loaded into memory). The sub-tables are called `blocks'.
(charset-external-name from-cs-name)
(charset-external-encoding from-cs-enc)
(charset-internal-name to-cs-name)
(charset-internal-encoding to-cs-enc)
(table-type type)
array
random-arrays
(c1-min c1min)
(c1-max c1max)
(c2-min c2min)
(c2-max c2max)
(block-size size)
(nblocks nblocks)
(block block code0 code1 ...)
Let c be a code point of a character to be converted by this CCV file.
It is converted as follows. Let c1 be c/size and c2 be c modulo size. The block number b that should be referred to is c1-c1min. The position i in the block b is c2-c2min. Thus, the value of i-th entry of a block numbered b is converted code point.
c1max, c2max and nblocks are used internally to determine the necessary memory area to load the table.
Theoretically, array is enough for the value for
table-type directive.
But in case that there are many blocks that do not have conversion entries.
This is happen in the case of CNS11643 character set
(a Hanji character set in Taiwan).
To reduce the table size, some of blocks can be omitted by giving
random-array for table-type directive.
In case of array, lookup for code conversion is
implemented by indexing an entire array, which is very fast.
In case of random-array, lookup for code conversion
takes time to find a corresponding sub-table (block), since
the table is not linear.
The following example is a CCV file that virtually provides
a ISO 8859-1 character set font using a Unicode font.
That is, a Unicode font can be used as if it were a ISO 8859-1 font
by the CCV file.
This file is distributed with VFlib and installed
by the name iso8859-1_unicode.ccv.
This file is a table indexed by code points of ISO 8859-1; contents of table entries are Unicode code points.

@command{vflmkcaptex} is a utility program to generate vflibcap file for TeX DVI driver software automatically. With simple command line arugments, a vflibcap that uses PK, GF, Virtual Font, Type 1 fonts with complex TeX font mapping rules.
Usage: vflmkcaptex [ OPTIONS... ] [ CLASS... ]
Usage: vflmkcaptex [ SHORTCUT ] [ OPTIONS... ]
@option{CLASS...} is a list of font class names to support by vflibcap file to be generated. @option{OPTIONS...} is option list to customize default settings. @option{SHORTCUT} is a shortcut name to typical options and class name list.
Shortcut:
Font class list:
When a font is requested to open, the font is tried to open by font classes by the order in the command line.
So, by a `vflibcap' generated by the following example, font in PK format is rearched first. If a font in PK format is not found, font in Type 1 format is searched next.
vflmkcaptex pk type1
Therefore, the order of font classes decides the priority of font file formats to search.
Options:
Options for Japanese TeX support:

@command{vflmkcaptex} is a Unix Shell script. It uses following programs to generate a `vflibcap' file. Descriptions the followng programs are ommited since most of users never use them directly. For details, invoke each program with @option{--help} option to see how to use it.
@command{vflpp} prettyprints (i.e., grinds) a vflibcap file. It eliminate all comment strings and unnecessary space and newline characters.
Usage: vflpp [ vflibcap-file ]
A program @command{vflpp} prettyprints a file vflibcap to standard output. If no argument is given, @command{vflpp} reads from standard input.
Usage: vflmkfdb font-directory [ ... ]
A program @command{vflmkfdb} makes a font file hint database (FDB for short) in a font directories given in the command line argument.
It is used in a font file search module in VFlib. In case there are many font files in many directories, search a font file consumes much time to traverse directory hierarchy. FDB file contains pairs of file name and path name to the file in a single file. By reading FDB file, a font file can be found without traversing directories.
For each font-directory, a FDB file named `VFlib.fdb' is created in the directory.
Usage: vfldrvs
A program @command{vfldrvs} prints a list of pre-installed font drivers in VFlib.
@command{vflserver} is a font server that provides the functionality of VFlib via network.
@command{vflserver} can be invokes from command line or via network.
Usage: vflserver [-v vflibcap] [-s shrink] [cmd-file ...]
@command{vflserver} receives a command, executes it, and return a result. This is repeated until connection is closed or quit command is executed. @command{vflserver} reads a sequence of command from standard input if cmd-file option is not given.
Options:
Before using @command{vflserver} via network, it must be installed to be invoked by @command{inetd}. You must be a root to do the following procedures.
First, edit `/etc/services':
Add the following line to `/etc/inetd.conf'.
vflserver stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/vflserver vflserver
If you need to explicitly specify a vflibcap file to be used, you must give @option{-v} option as follows:
vflserver stream tcp nowait nobady /usr/local/bin/vflserver vflserver -v /foo/vflibcap
To force inetd to re-read `inetd.conf', send a HUP signal to inetd.
We finished installing vflserver to use via network. Now, use @command{telnet} to check if @command{vflserver} is correctly installed to network service. The following an example interaction.
% telnet localhost vflserver Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. ; This is a font server VFLSERVER Version 2.0 Fri Mar 13 11:58:42 JST 1998 ... ; Type `HELP' for description of the protocol.

The VFLSERVER Protocol is a communication protocol between a server which offers font service and a client which uses fonts.
The character set assumed by this protocol is ASCII character set. A line is a sequence of character terminated by a newline character and communication between a server and a client is line-oriented.
Each request to a server by a client takes a form of a line. The following are examples of client's requests.
OPEN1 timR24.pcf DEBUG BITMAP ON BITMAP1 1 33
A reply by a server to a client is an S-expression, (lisp-like notation). The following are examples of server's response.
(100 0 "timR14.pcf") (100 "Ascii-art bitmap on.") (100 8 13 0 9 9 0 "3eccc4c4cc78407c7f83c1e27c")
The first number of the response of each reply by a server are formed by decimal digits and these three digits indicates the status of an execution of client's request. Thus, this three digits is a status code.
The first digit is one of `1', `2', ...., `5'. If this digit is `1', it there is no error at all. If it is `5', there are some errors to achieve a request. According to the degree of fatalness, the digit is decided; It is `1' if no error is detected and is `5' if some fatal errors are detected and it is impossible to continue to execute a server. If it is not `5', a client can receive some result.
The following defines commands and their arguments by a client, and corresponding responses by a server. Command name is case-insensitive, but arguments are case-sensitive. In the description of command format, arguments enclosed by [ ] can be omitted, while arguments that are not enclosed by [ ] are essential arguments and cannot be omitted.
VF_OpenFont1() function.
If it succeeds opening the font, a font identifier is returned.
After a font is opened, any request for a font is specified by
font identifier (not font name).
Response:
VF_OpenFont2() function.
If it succeeds opening the font, a font identifier is returned.
After a font is opened, any request for a font is specified by
font identifier (not font name).
Response: Response is the same as one for @command{OPEN1} command.
VF_GetBitmap1() function of VFlib.
Response:
VF_GetBitmap2() function.
Response is the same as @command{BITMAP1} command.
VF_GetMetric1() function.
Response:
VF_GetMetric2() function.
Response: Same as METRIC1 command except for units are points.
VF_GetFontBoundingBox1() function.
Response:
ON, bounding boxes of
bitmaps sent from a server is minimized not to contain white
pixels as possible.
If flag is OFF, bitmaps sent from a
server is not guaranteed to be minimized bounding boxes.
If flag is not given, current mode is returned.
Initial mode is OFF.
Response: The current mode is returned even if the operation fails or succeeds.
ON or OFF.
ON or OFF.
@command{vfltest} displays glyph of a given font and characters by ASCII-art form on a character terminal. It does not requires X Window System, but the font of the terminal must be a fixed-width font, since bitmaps are printed by ASCII-art form.
Usage: vfltest [ OPTIONS... ] FONT_NAME CHAR_LIST
Options:
VF_GetOutline()
and then VF_OutlineToBitmap().
This option is effective only when a font is opened in mode 1.
A list of character is a sequence of the following forms.
-).
@command{vflx11} displays glyph of a given font in a window. It requires X11R5 or X11R6.
Usage: vflx11 [ OPTIONS... ] FONT_NAME
Options:
VF_GetOutline()
and then VF_OutlineToBitmap().
This is effective when a font is opened in mode 1.
Following operations are defined on a @command{vflx11} window.
@command{vfldisol} displays `disassembled lists' of vector data of a given font and code points.
Usage: vfldisol [ OPTIONS... ] FONT_NAME CODE ...
Options:
@command{ctext2pgm} creates an image file in PGM or PBM format from a multilingual text file encoded by compound text format. It also supports various text encodings such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean EUCs and Shift-JIS. PGM and PBM formats are portable formats, image files can be easily converted to another image format such as GIF, TIFF.
It supports various character sets and left-to-right and right-to-left directionalities.
Usage: ctext2pgm [ OPTIONS... ] [ file ]
--- @command{ctext2pgm} reads file (if not given, reads standard input) and prints image file to standard output.
Example:
% ctext2pgm -pgm -ctext -16 -times DOC-10.txt > IMAGE.pgm
(Never forget to redirect the output.)
Options for VFlib:
Options for input encoding and script:
Options for directionality:
Options for font selection:
Options for typesetting:
It is important to notice that the difference of @option{-flush-left} and @option{-left-line} options (and @option{-flush-right} and @option{-right-line} options). By @option{-flush-left} option, input text is typeset to flush each line left and typeset result is placed in the left of an output image. By @option{-left-line} option, input text is typeset to flush each line left and does not specify how to put the typeset result in an output image. The difference appears when the horizontal size of output image is explicitly given by @option{-pw} option.
Options for output:
Any text editor can be used to prepare input files for @command{ctext2pgm}. Input files are plain texts. If you want to create an image containing multiple character sets, save the files by compound text encoding. If you want to make images of Arabic text, use the @command{Mule} editor. (@command{Mule} is an extension of @command{GNU Emacs} for multilingual text processing.) For making images of Arabic script, @command{ctext2pgm} only supports a text created by Mule, ISO-8859-6 is not supported.
Unlike TeX and HTML, newlines of input files are not ignored and a newline character in input text breaks line. Thus, input text is typeset like `verbatim' environment of LaTeX or `<PRE> ... </PRE>' tag of HTML.
Several commands can be embedded in text files such as font switch.
Command sequence starts by a backslash (\) followed by one character
which represents command name.
If you want to display a backslash character itself, use
double backslashes \\.
Following commands are defined:
\f, \t, \h, \c
\d
\N, \B, \I
\D
\.
\d followed by \D.
\(
\( has no effect.
\)
\\
In case you failed to obtain a desired image output, the following command line options for debugging may be useful. (Debugging messages are printed to standard output. The @option{-none} option is useful to suppress printing binary image to your terminal. Otherwise, debugging message and image file are printed together on your terminal!)
VFlib version 3.6 and version 2 are quite different and you should forget about VFlib version 2.
Since I released VFlib version 1, so many people helped me to improve VFlib. I am grateful for all of them. Special gratitude is due to Satoru Tomura, Ken'ichi Handa, Werner Lemberg, and Ichiro Matsuda.
