A type one font needs to be split into chunks [this is how for instance chinese is supported] while a truetype can be used as a whole. You need to make tfm files for each chunk, as well as enc files [lei wang is an expert on this, he also made some scripts]. If you can sort this out we can see if we can make this process easy since there are more unicode fonts around. there are two ways to proceed: (1) create standard (say texnansi,ec) subsets, (2) use uchar mapping, which means something like: Eumlaut -> uchar{1}{234} but then we may loose kerning and so, Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
