Adobe CMap files for CJK:
The essential CMap files mapping from character encodings to CID are
published under freely redistributable license with no modification,
available from:
ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/pub/examples/nutshell/cjkv/adobe/
The CMap files mapping from CID to Unicode are available from "PDF Core
Font Information" at
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/technotes/fonts.html
buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
Rui-Xiang Guo in PR pkg/17829. cyberbase-ttf differs from cyberbit-ttf in
that it does not include the CJK subset.
Bitstream Cyberbit is a TrueType font. It is an international font,
containing characters from many languages. Each character is encoded with its
Unicode value, according to Unicode 2.0 standards.
Cyberbit was developed by Bitstream to provide Unicode Consortium members with
a test font. It is therefore distributed freely to customers that need advanced
multilingual fonts for testing and other non-commercial uses. Customers that
wish to use Cyberbit for other purposes must license the font from Bitstream.

This package installs two free TrueType fonts, they are useful for web viewing.
The typeface is Geometric Slabserif 703, which is Bitstream's version of
Memphis a typeface designed in 1930 by Rudolph Weiss. While it may seem odd
that a typeface designed 65 years ago would look good on-screen today,
the reason has to do with the shape of the letterforms themselves.
They have a simple, geometric shape, and their serifs (the small protrusions
from the ends of the letter) are in the "slab" family, which means they, too,
are simple. The "x-height" (the height of the lowercase letter "x") is
relatively large, but not so large that it makes reading difficult in the web
where there is little real control over leading (the space between the lines).
Bitstream is supplying these typefaces to help you see the importance of type
on the web. Once you see how different web pages can look just by changing the
typeface, and how much easier they can be to read, you'll see the importance of
typographic choice on the web.
Based on PR 13913 by Kevin Lo, with some cleanup by me.
Kcfonts is a suit of chinese Ming Fanti fonts for X-window.
Kcfonts' fonts are contributed by Kau Chauo Information CO. to all
TANet users running on PC. Thanks Chin-Hao Tsai <c-tsai@uiuc.edu>, who
converted it to the style of ETen's fonts. Now you can use kcfonts &
crxvt to view Chinese by BIG5 encoding.
