About Ghostscript fonts

PostScript fonts are font files encoded in outline font specifications developed by Adobe Systems for professional digital typesetting. This system uses PostScript file format to encode font information. 'PostScript fonts' may also separately be used to refer to a basic set of fonts included as standards in the PostScript system, such as Times, Helvetica and Avant Garde.

Ghostscript is distributed with two kinds of files related to fonts:

• the fonts themselves in individual files, and
• a file 'Fontmap' that defines forGhostscript which file represents which font.

Additionally, the file cidfmap can be usedto create substitutes for CIDFonts referenced by name in Postscript and PDF jobs.See the section on CID Font Substitutionfor details. NOTE: care must be exercised since poor or incorrect output may resultfrom inappropriate CIDFont substitution. We therefore strongly recommendembedding CIDFonts in your Postscript and PDF files if at all possible.

The 'base 35' fonts required for Postscript (and 'base 14' required for PDF)are Postscript Type 1 font files.

When Ghostscript needs a font, it must have some way to know where to lookfor it: that's the purpose of the Fontmap file, whichassociates the names of fonts such as /Times-Romanwith the names of font files, such asn021003l.pfb. Fontmap can also createaliases for font names, so that for instance,/NimbusNo9L-Regu means the same font as/Times-Roman.

Where a mapping in Fontmap maps a font name to a path/file,the directory containing the font file is automatically added to the permitfile read list. For example:
/Arial (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf) ;
will result in the path /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ beingadded to the permit file read list. This is done on the basis that font filesare often grouped in common directories, and rather than risk the file permissions listsbeing swamped with (potentially) hundreds of individual files, it makes sense to add thedirectories.

NOTE: Fontmap is processed (and the paths added to the file permissions list) duringinitialisation of the Postscript interpreter, so any attempt by a Postscript job to change thefont map cannot influence the file permissions list.

How Ghostscript gets fonts when it runs

Fonts occupy about 50KB each, so Ghostscript doesn't load them allautomatically when it runs. Instead, as part of normal initializationGhostscript runs a file gs_fonts.ps, which arranges to loadfonts on demand using information from the font map. To preload all of theknown fonts, invoke the procedure

loadallfonts

The file lib/prfont.ps contains code to print a sample page ofa font. Load this program by including it in the gscommand line or by invoking

(prfont.ps) run

Then to produce a sampler of a particular font XYZ, invoke

/XYZ DoFont

For example,

/Times-Roman DoFont

For more information about how Ghostscript loads fonts during execution,see here.

Adding your own fonts

Ghostscript can use any Type 0, 1, 3, 4, or 42 font acceptable toother PostScript language interpreters or to ATM, including MultiMasterfonts. Ghostscript can also use TrueType font files.

To add fonts of your own, you must edit Fontmap to include at the end anentry for your new font; the format for entries is documentedin Fontmap itself. Since later entries in Fontmap override earlierentries, a font you add at the end supersedes any corresponding fonts suppliedwith Ghostscript and defined earlier in the file. To ensure correct output,it is vital that entries for the 'base 35' fonts remain intactin the Fontmap file.

In the PC world, Type 1 fonts are customarily given names ending in.PFA or .PFB. Ghostscript can use thesedirectly: you just need to make the entry in Fontmap. If you want to usewith Ghostscript a commercial Type 1 font (such as fonts obtained inconjunction with Adobe Type Manager), please read carefully the license thataccompanies the font to satisfy yourself that you may do so legally; we takeno responsibility for any possible violations of such licenses. The sameapplies to TrueType fonts.

Converting BDF fonts (- deprecated!)

Ghostscript provides a way to construct a (low-quality) Type 1 font from abitmap font in the BDF format popular in the Unix world. The shell scriptbdftops (Unix) or the command filebdftops.bat (DOS) converts a BDF file to ascalable outline using bdftops.ps . Run theshell command

bdftops BDF_filename [AFM_file1_name ..] gsf_filename fontname
UniqueID [XUID] [encodingname]

The arguments have these meanings:

For instance

bdftops pzdr.bdf ZapfDingbats.afm pzdr.gsf ZapfDingbats 4100000 1000000.1.41

Then make an entry in Fontmap for the .gsffile (pzdr.gsf in the example) asdescribed above.

For developers only

The rest of this document is very unlikely to be of value to ordinaryusers.

Contents of fonts

As noted above, Ghostscript accepts fonts in the same formats as PostScriptinterpreters. Type 0, 1, and 3 fonts are documented in the PostScriptLanguage Reference Manual (Second Edition); detailed documentation for Type1 fonts appears in a separate Adobe book. Type 2 (compressed format) fontsare documented in separate Adobe publications. Type 4 fonts are notdocumented anywhere; they are essentially Type 1 fonts with a BuildChar orBuildGlyph procedure. Types 9, 10, and 11 (CIDFontType 0, 1, and 2) andType 32 (downloaded bitmap) fonts are documented in Adobe supplements.Type 42 (encapsulated TrueType) fonts are documented in an Adobesupplement; the TrueType format is documented in publications availablefrom Apple and Microsoft. Ghostscript does not support Type 14 (Chameleon)fonts, which use a proprietary Adobe format.

Font names and unique IDs

If you create your own fonts and will use them only within your ownorganization, you should use UniqueID values between4000000 and 4999999.

If you plan to distribute fonts, ask Adobe to assign you some UniqueIDs andalso an XUID for your organization. Contact

The XUID is a Level 2 PostScript feature that serves the same function asthe UniqueID, but is not limited to a single 24-bit integer. Thebdftops program creates XUIDs of the form'[-X- 0 -U-]' where '-X-' is theorganization XUID and '-U-' is the UniqueID. (AladdinEnterprises' organization XUID, which appears in a few places in variousfont-related files distributed with Ghostscript, is 107; do not use this foryour own fonts that you distribute.)

Using Ghostscript fonts on X Windows displays

The 'Xfonts' feature is no longer supported.

So when Macklemore did beat Kendrick, white privilege was the only plausible explanation, and even Macklemore knew it. Macklemore was gracious in his acceptance speech, but then he went a step too. Macklemore’s a white rapper, in dialog with his fans and himself on this track. He acknowledges that he may be “gentrifying” hip-hop as a white rapper in a black art form, similar to Eminem in “White America”. Macklemore doesn’t necessarily come to a resolution in this song—rap is who he is, but his privilege is a factor is his success. Macklemore white privilege 2 lyrics.

  Description

  Contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.
