I'm finding it very tough to locate the utilites needed to prepare the fonts. In particular, I've been looking for 'chpfb' or 'gbpfb', which will enable me to convert a TrueType font into several Type 1 fonts and corresponding tfms, or the 'gbenc' shellscript which will enable me to create the necessary tfms and encodings to use the ttf directly. Unfortunately they are proving very difficult to track down in the locations pointed to by the manual, which presumably are now out of date. I have access to both Windows and Linux platforms to run these on, so if anyone can point me at a place where I can now get them I'd be very grateful. Even better, if someone actually has a working Chinese set-up, a few pointers as to how you got there would be brilliant! Many thanks. Duncan
