Version 03/29/2001 The files in this directory relate to Adobe CJK character collections for CID-keyed fonts, and also provide *real* CIDFonts for testing purposes. Documentation that further describes CID-keyed Font Technology can be found at the following URL: http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/technotes.html Specifically, Tech Notes #5014 and #5092 are available at the above URL. The former is the full engineering specification, and the latter is a gentle overview. Other CID-related Tech Notes are also available: 5004.AFM_Spec.pdf (AFM specification -- includes CID-keyed AFM format) 5078.Adobe-Japan1-4.pdf (Adobe-Japan1-4 Character Collection) 5079.Adobe-GB1-4.pdf (Adobe-GB1-4 Character Collection) 5080.Adobe-CNS1-3.pdf (Adobe-CNS1-3 Character Collection) 5093.Adobe-Korea1-0.pdf (Adobe-Korea1-0 Character Collection) 5094.CJK_CID.pdf (Adobe CJKV Character Collections and CMaps Overview) 5097.Adobe-Japan2-0.pdf (Adobe-Japan2-0 Character Collection) 5099.CMapFiles.pdf (Building CMap Files for CID-Keyed Fonts) 5174.CID_PS.pdf (CID-keyed Font Installation for PostScript Devices) 5175.CID_ATM.pdf (CID-keyed Font Compatibility With ATM Software) 5176.CFF.pdf (The Compact Font Format Specification) 5177.Type2.pdf (The Type 2 Charstring Format) 5178.PFM.pdf (Building PFM files for PostScript CJK fonts) 5180.sfnt.pdf (CID-Keyed sfnt Font File Format for the Macintosh, version 2.0) 5213.CID.pdf (PostScript-language extensions for CID-keyed fonts) 5640.CJK_Fonts.pdf (Application Support for PostScript CJK Fonts) 5641.CID_Embed.pdf (Enabling PDF Font Embedding for CID-Keyed Fonts) Most of these are the illustrated CID tables that indicate the glyphs for each CID -- they use embedded 150-dpi bitmaps or embedded CIDFonts. Tech Note #5094 provides a detailed summary of what each character collection supports in terms of character sets and encodings, and Tech Note #5004 includes a description of CID-keyed AFM files (the AFM file that corresponds to a CIDFont). If you are interested in CID-keyed font technology or wish to develop products based on CID-keyed font technology, I *strongly* suggest that you request a copy of the CID SDK (CID Software Developers Kit) from Adobe Developer Support: Adobe Developers Association Adobe Systems Incorporated 345 Park Avenue San Jose, CA 95110-2704 USA +1-408-536-9000 (phone) +1-206-628-5737 (facsimile) devsupp-person@adobe.com http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/ The following describes the contents of this directory (those for specific character collections contain the complete set of *standard* CMap files plus the cid-to-character-code correspondence table): 00README This file ac13.tar.Z Adobe-CNS1-3 materials ag14.tar.Z Adobe-GB1-4 materials ai0.tar.Z Adobe-Identity-0 materials aj14.tar.Z Adobe-Japan1-4 materials aj20.tar.Z Adobe-Japan2-0 materials ak12.tar.Z Adobe-Korea1-2 materials samples/ Sample CIDFont and CID-keyed AFM files (Note that the Unicode, UCS-2 and UTF-8, CMap files are now integrated into the appropriate character collections.) The currently-available sample CIDFonts, in the "samples" subdirectory, are as follows: Munhwa-Regular (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 8193 CIDs) Munhwa-Bold (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 2549 CIDs) MunhwaGothic-Regular (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 8193 CIDs) MunhwaGothic-Bold (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 2549 CIDs) MunhwaGungSeo-Bold (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 2549 CIDs) MunhwaGungSeo-Light (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 2549 CIDs) MunhwaGungSeoHeulim-Bold (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 2549 CIDs) MunhwaGungSeoHeulim-Light (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 2549 CIDs) MunhwaHoonMin-Regular (Adobe-Korea1-0 subset: 2549 CIDs) WadaMin-Regular (Adobe-Japan1-1 subset: 6998 CIDs WadaMin-Bold (Adobe-Japan1-1 subset: 6996 CIDs) WadaGo-Bold (Adobe-Japan1-1 subset: 6998 CIDs) WadaMaruGo-Regular (Adobe-Japan1-1 subset: 6998 CIDs) WadaMin-RegularH (Adobe-Japan2-0 complete: 6068 CIDs) WadaMaruGo-RegularH (Adobe-Japan2-0 complete: 6068 CIDs) MOESung-Regular (Adobe-CNS1-0 subset: 13699 CIDs) MOEKai-Regular (Adobe-CNS1-0 subset: 13699 CIDs) All of the "Munhwa" CIDFonts, except for Munhwa-Regular and MunhwaGothic-Regular, include CIDs 0-101 (.notdef, proportional Latin, and full-width space), 1086-3435 (2,350 KS X 1001:1992 hangul), and 8094-8190 (half-width Latin). Munhwa-Regular and MunhwaGothic-Regular also include CIDs 102-1085 (KS X 1001:1992 symbols), and 3436-8093 (KS X 1001:1992 hanja), and 8283-8284 (additional punctuation). All of these fonts have /FSType set to 4 to enable PDF embedding. Note that two of the Korean "Munhwa" fonts are also available here in the "samples" subdirectory as sfnt-wrapped CIDFonts for use on MacOS (but with only 2,549 CIDs). The following are the relevant files: Munhwa-Regular.hqx MunhwaGothic-Regular.hqx Each archive contains instructions for installation and use. Korean font developers may also find these to be excellent examples. WadaMin-Bold, WadaGo-Bold, and WadaMaruGo-Regular include CIDs 0 (.notdef), 422, 425-500, 629, 633- 740, 780-7477, 7479-7554, 8229-8263, and 8284-8285. WadaMin-Regular includes the same CIDs as the previous three CIDFonts, except for 8284-8285. All of these fonts have /FSType set to 4 to enable PDF embedding. MOESung-Regular and MOEKai-Regular include CIDs 0-505, 595-13746, and 14056-14096. This subset definition provides full coverage of Big Five and CNS 11643-1992 Planes 1 and 2. Both of these fonts have /FSType set to 4 to enable PDF embedding. Because CMap and CIDFont files are considered binary data (a CMap file is just newline-terminated text, but a CIDFont is composed of newline terminated header material plus *real* binary data), be sure transfer all files in binary mode.
