dvipdfmx

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear crew,
Ok, I've got things working so far on the upgrade; the engine path works and I 
can use one command for both aleph and pdfetex; hooray!

but...

Default dvipdfmx configuration is not right. Consider the following three 
scenarios:

1.
==============test-upgrade.tex================
% output=dvipdfmx

\starttext

Test

\stoptext
==============================================

gives

==============================================
texexec test-upgrade

 TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

fixing engine variable : pdfetex
            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-en
             inputfile : test-upgrade
                output : dvipdfmx
             interface : en
          current mode : none
               TeX run : 1

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.3)

ctxtools does not make right font mapping files. Especially for slanted
fonts, it ignores "-s" slant option. For example, in
texnansi-urw-palatino.map,

texnansi-raw-uplr8a-slanted-167 URWPalladioL-Roma "0.167 SlantFont" 4  
< uplr8a.pfb texnansi.enc

is converted to

texnansi-raw-uplr8a-slanted-167 texnansi uplr8a

But the right one is

texnansi-raw-uplr8a-slanted-167 texnansi uplr8a -s .167

Does ctxtool use the same technique as updmap? Or, my teTeX (fink  
version)
is old?

Best, ChoF.

i dunno about updmap, never used it; currently i load map files 
automatically in dvipdfmx (i could get the mapline special working)

i didn't know the exact dvipdfmx mapfile syntax -)

we can add a slant as follows:

encoding = if line =~ /([a-z0-9\-]+)\.enc/io        then $1 else ''  end
fontfile = if line =~ /([a-z0-9\-]+)\.(pfb|ttf)/io  then $1 else nil end
metrics  = if line =~ /^([a-z0-9\-]+)[\s\<]+/io     then $1 else nil end
slant    = if line =~ /\"([\d\.]+)\s+SlantFont\"/io then "-s "#{$1}" else '' end

if metrics && encoding && fontfile then
  n += 1
  "#{metrics} #{encoding} #{fontfile} #{slant}"
else
  ''
end

My ctxtools.rb does not have the line for slant. Just three lines for
encoding, fontfile, and metrics. The version is 1.2.2. (Jul 29)

Have you updated ctxtools.rb recently?

Dear Hans, Taco, Chof, and all,

Just installed 051130, and I am happy to report that, so far anyway, dvipdfmx 
map files work fine-)

Is this where dvipdfmx is running into difficulty?
