The Asian Solaris operating environment provides PostScript fonts in the Display PostScript System (DPS). This chapter describes what you need to use DPS in Asian Solaris software. For further details on DPS, see Programming the Display PostScript System with X, published by Adobe® Systems.
This chapter is grouped in three main sections for the three localized environments.
The Korean Solaris operating environment provides the Korean fonts listed in Table 6-1.

Of these fonts, you can use the following just as you would use Roman fonts:
Kodig-Medium-EUC-H
Kodig-Medium-EUC-V
Kodig-Medium
Myeongjo-Medium-EUC-H
Myeongjo-Medium-EUC-V
Myeongjo-Medium
Figure 6-1 shows a sample of Kodig-Medium and Myeongjo-Medium text.
You can also use the following Korean fonts just like Roman fonts for an ISO2022 encoded Hangul string, that is, for a pure Hangul string between SO and SI characters with no intermediate ASCII space (0x20) characters:
Kodig-Medium-H
Kodig-Medium-V
Myeongjo-Medium-H
Myeongjo-Medium-V
You can create composite fonts using any one Roman font with one of the following Korean fonts:
Kodig-Medium-COMB-H
Kodig-Medium-COMB-V
Myeongjo-Medium-COMB-H
Myeongjo-Medium-COMB-V
For example, the following PostScript code defines a composite font, Times-Italic+Kodig-Medium, which uses Times-Italic for ASCII characters and Kai-Medium horizontal font for Korean characters:
/Times-Italic+Kai-Medium 13 dict begin /FontName 1 index def /FMapType 4 def /Encoding [ 0 1 ] def /WMode 0 def /FontType 0 def /FontMatrix [1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0] def /FDepVector [ /Times-Italic findfont /Kodig-Medium-COMB-H findfont ] def currentdict end definefont pop
You can use some Korean fonts just as you use Roman fonts in DPS wrap definitions. The following sample code was used to create the display in Figure 6-2:
defineps PSWDisplayText(char *text) /pointSize 50 def /Helvetica pointSize selectfont (Hello World) stringwidth pop 2 div neg 0 moveto (Hello World) show /kpSize 40 def /Kodig-Medium-KO kpSize selectfont (text) stringwidth pop 2 div neg pointSize neg moveto (text) show endps
You can call PSWDisplayText(Korean text) in a C program to display the designated Korean text; for example, as shown in Figure 6-2.
Simplified Chinese Solaris operating environment DPS provides the Simplified Chinese fonts listed in Table 6-2.

Font Name |
Description |

Song-Medium |
Alias of Song-Medium-EUC; can be used like a Roman font |
Song-Medium-EUC |
Song-Medium font, EUC encoding, horizontal display; can be used like a Roman font |
Song-Medium-H |
Song-Medium font, horizontal display, to make a composite font with a Roman font |
You can use the following two Simplified Chinese fonts just as you would use Roman fonts:
Song-Medium
Song-Medium-EUC
Figure 6-3 shows a sample of Song-Medium.
You can create composite fonts using any one Roman font and the Simplified Chinese Song-Medium-H font. For example, the following PostScript code defines a composite font, Times-Italic+Song-Medium, which uses Times-Italic for ASCII characters and Song-Medium horizontal font for Simplified Chinese characters:
/Times-Italic+Song-Medium 13 dict begin /FontName 1 index def /FMapType 4 def /Encoding [ 0 1 ] def /WMode 0 def /FontType 0 def /FontMatrix [1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0] def /FDepVector [ /Times-Italic findfont /Song-Medium-H findfont ] def currentdict end definefont pop
You can use Simplified Chinese fonts just as you use Roman fonts in DPS wrap definitions. The following sample code creates the display in Figure 6-4:
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 /Song-Medium cpSize selectfont (text) stringwidth pop 2 div neg pointSize neg moveto (text) show endps
You can call PSWDisplayText(Chinese text) in a C program to display the designated Chinese text. For an example see Figure 6-4.
Simplified Chinese Solaris software provides TrueType support in DPS.
The Traditional Chinese Solaris operating environment provides the Chinese PostScript fonts listed in Table 6-3.

Of the fonts in this table, you can use the following just as you use Roman fonts:
Kai-Medium
Kai-Medium-EUC-H
Kai-Medium-EUC-V
Ming-Light
Ming-Light-EUC-H
Ming-Light-EUC-V
Figure 6-5 shows the use of Kai-Medium and Ming-Light.
You can create composite fonts using one Roman font and one of the following Traditional Chinese fonts:
Ming-Light-H
Ming-Light-V
Kai-Medium-H
Kai-Medium-V
For example, the following PostScript code defines a sample composite font, Times-Italic+Kai-Medium, which uses Times-Italic for ASCII characters and Song-Medium horizontal font for Traditional Chinese characters:
/Times-Italic+Kai-Medium 13 dict begin /FontName 1 index def /FMapType 4 def /Encoding [ 0 1 ] def /WMode 0 def /FontType 0 def /FontMatrix [1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0] def /FDepVector [ /Times-Italic findfont /Kai-Medium-H findfont ] def currentdict end definefont pop
You can use Traditional Chinese fonts just as you use Roman fonts in DPS wrap definitions. The following sample code creates the display in Figure 6-6:
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 call PSWDisplayText(Chinese text) in a C program to display the designated Chinese text; for example, as shown in Figure 6-6.
