convert Big5/GB encoded files to postscript
---
bg5ps is a Python script that generates Postscript from Chinese
Big5/GB encoded files, using ttf fonts.
yup provides a PostScript printer with the capability of printing any
number of reduced page images on one physical sheet of paper, be they
PostScript or ASCII text.

Changes (see the NEWS file for a complete list):
- Floats, footnotes and margin notes are now real insets. The
positional parameters of figure, table and algorithm floats can be set
float-by-float
- Most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been addressed
(memory consumption, file bloat, spell-checking, search and replace...).
Better longtable header/footer support was implemented.
- Notes inset can now contain arbitrary LyX constructs; they will not
appear in the output.
- New minipage inset
- New graphics inset with support for hassle-free inclusion of various
image formats (GIF, JPEG, PNG and EPS by default) and a new
rendering scheme that should fix the bugs we had with the older
ghostscript method.
- Support for natbib for bibliography citations
- The math editor has been mostly rewritten
- New ligature break special character, useful for words like
"shelfful", or many german words
- Support for parsing preamble when converting LaTeX files. Along
with changes in the LaTeX production of alignment options, this
improves round-trip work where you export a LyX document as
LaTeX, and later reimport it from LaTeX.
- Support for setting bookmarks and jumping to them
- It is possible to cycle between a label and its references.
- Preliminary support for multiple bibliographies
- Babel can be disabled
- A thesaurus facility (English only)
Major news for the 1.4 releases:
DESIGN
* More pervasive GUILE integration resulting in improved design and
implementation. LilyPond is smaller, cleaner, more flexible, etc.
- Improved speed with comparable memory footprint
- More tweakability using less memory with the new `property push'
mechanism.
- Improved robustness: Lily almost never crashes.
- Access to internal music representation
* New font selection scheme similar to Latex-NFSS.
* Flexible formatting mechanism for musical texts.
* Chordnames are now configurable in every respect
* Part combining for orchestral scores and hymns: two voices are
combined into a staff automatically, including Solo/a2
indications as appropriate.
ERGONOMICS
* Point and click functionality using emacs and Xdvi.
* Rewritten Emacs mode
* Cleaned up syntax details
* Comprehensive documentation, including a rewritten tutorial.
* All properties have doc strings, and internal documentation is
generated automatically.
* Windows point-and-click installer
NOTATION FEATURES
* Piano pedals, Arpeggios, Glissandi, many more note head
shapes, Medieval clefs, custodes.
* Better lyrics placement: Automatical phrasing, melisma alignment,
and stanza numbering.
* Typography: More elegant slurs, aligned dynamics, text crescendos,
* Easy-play note heads
* ASCIIScript: ASCII-art output
* Improved standalone postscript layout.
IMPORT/EXPORT
* dynamics, tempo changes in the MIDI output
* Finale (.etf), PMX, Musedata and Mup import tools.
MISCELLANEOUS
* Mutopia ports collection: easily accessible music archive.
* Translations into Japanese, French and Russian
* Many many many bugfixes.
binaries, so it doesn't care about what version of "png" is installed,
at all. Bump PKGREVISION again, though, because we only want to go forward
with that.
by agc. For the "forms", "jpeg", and "Xpm" shared libraries, we have to
cast a wider net, so partially revert last commit. For that, "X11BASE" is
correct, as we already search "LOCALBASE" by virtue of ${LDFLAGS} set in
bsd.pkg.mk. This should fix PR pkg/16308.
(On my my Mac with an NFS mounted object directory, it keeps rebuilding
po/Makefile and getting it wrong.)
- - Take a stab at fixing PR pkg/16308: X11BASE -> X11PREFIX.
by Rui-Xiang Guo <rxg@netbsd.org> in pkg/14773. This package stems from
FreeBSD's one.
From DESCR:
TrueType fonts cannot be converted to Type 1 fonts without loss of
quality, since conversion introduces rounding errors and loses hinting
information. Therefore, newer PostScript interpreters (Adobe
PostScript since version 2013, ghostscript since 5.03) include a
TrueType rasterizers. To use a TrueType font with them, it has to be
embedded in a PostScript font dictionary; this format is called Type 42.
This program generates such Type 42 fonts from TrueType fonts. It
can also generate Adobe Font Metrics files (AFM files), including
kerning information.
Not yet supported are TrueType Collections and the creation of CID
keyed fonts from large TrueType fonts (East Asian or Unicode fonts).
