Traditional Chinese Solaris User's Guide

Using Traditional Chinese Fonts in DPS Programming

You can use Traditional Chinese fonts just as you use Roman fonts in DPS wrap definitions. The following code sample creates the display in the Hello World figure.


defineps PSWDisplayText(char *text)
			/pointSize 50 def
			/Helvetica pointSize selectfont
			(Hello World) stringwidth pop 2 div neg 0 moveto
			(Hello World) show

			/cpSize 40 def
			/Kai-Medium cpSize selectfont
			(text) stringwidth pop 2 div neg pointSize neg moveto
			(text) show
endps

You can include PSWDisplayText (Chinese text) in a C program to display the designated Chinese text.
