Help converting a truetype unicode font to type3
Hi all,
I am working on a program that outputting PostScript to printers. In the
Postscript output, the program encodes true type fonts into multiple
type 42 fonts with a composite type 0 as parent. the program works fine
on single-byte charsets, however, it does not work well if the font
contains CJK characters, even on some quite new printers.
It seems that PostScript interpreters have problems dealing with large
glyphs (>64K in size), even we encode the data into multiple strings in
/sfnt array.
I am considering converting true type to type3 and it seems working
except that I am not sure how to convert the encoding. Our goal is not
to touch other part of the code, just encode true type fonts into type3.
Can anybody show a PostScript source code about this? I tried a couple
of encoding choices, but failed to get one to work. I started to suspect
if it is even possible in this case.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
John
