Display PostScript System (DPS)

The Simplified Chinese Solaris operating environment provides PostScript fonts in the Display PostScript System (DPS). This section describes what you need to use DPS in Simplified Chinese Solaris software. For further details, see Programming the Display PostScript System with X, published by Adobe® Systems.

Using Simplified Chinese PostScript Fonts and DPS Facilities

The Simplified Chinese Solaris operating environment includes the fonts listed in the following table. You can use any of the Simplified Chinese fonts just as you would use Roman fonts.

Table 7-1 Simplified Chinese Solaris Operating Environment PostScript Fonts

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.
Kai-Medium	Alias of Kai-Medium-EUC; can be used like a Roman font.
Kai-Medium-EUC	Kai-Medium font, EUC encoding, horizontal display; can be used like a Roman font.
FangSong-Medium	Alias of FangSong-Medium-EUC; can be used like a Roman font.
FangSong-Medium-EUC	FangSong-Medium font, EUC encoding, horizontal display; can be used like a Roman font.
Hei-Medium	Alias of Hei-Medium-EUC; can be used like a Roman font.
Hei-Medium-EUC	Hei-Medium font, EUC encoding, horizontal display; can be used like a Roman font.

The following figure shows a sample of Song-Medium.

Creating Composite Roman and Simplified Chinese Fonts

You can create composite fonts using any one Roman font and the Simplified Chinese fonts. For example, the following PostScript code defines a composite font, Times-Italic+Kai-Medium, which uses Times-Italic for ASCII characters and Kai-Medium font for Simplified Chinese characters:

/makeEUCfont {
        /AsianFont exch def
        /WestFont  exch def
        /NewFont   exch def

        /CIDInit /ProcSet findresource 
        begin
          NewFont [ AsianFont WestFont ]
          beginrearrangedfont
            1 usefont
            1 beginbfrange
              <00> <7e>  <00>
            endbfrange
          endrearrangedfont
        end
  } bind def

  /LC_Times-Roman /Times-Roman /Kai-Medium makeEUCfont

Using Simplified Chinese Fonts in DPS Programming

You can use Simplified Chinese fonts just as you use Roman fonts in DPS wrap definitions. The following code sample creates the display in the next 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
        	/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 the following figure.
