cmap inclusion and virtual fonts
by Michael Zedler 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hello, Concerning cmap inclusion and virtual fonts ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cmap/README states "The main limitation currently is inability to work with virtual fonts, and this is because of limitation of pdftex, and may be resolved in a future versions of pdftex." Does this still hold? When using fonts with non-standard ligature names (e.g. /f_i, /f_l, /f_f etc with Adobe's current OTF) adding cmaps would be really useful - currently one cannot search for any word containing a ligature using Adobe Reader. Even better if these cmaps could be generated on the fly. Somehow Adobe Distiller manages to do so... Michael

length of new primitives
by Hartmut Henkel 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

while updating the manual, there are Taco's new primitives: \pdfimagegamma \pdfgamma and \pdfoptionpdfimagehicolor \pdfoptionimageapplygamma Trivial thing only: i wonder whether they really must be this long (there are already some very long ones, like (line break here) \pdfoptionpdfinclusionerrorlevel). Won't \pdfoptionpdfimagehicolor --> \pdfimagehicolor \pdfoptionimageapplygamma --> \pdfimageapplygamma serve as well? E. g. there is also \pdfadjustspacing, not \pdfoptionadjustspacing. BTW the new ones are not dumped into the format, so maybe one could say that only things with "option" would be dumped? Which are criteria that some stuff should be dumped, other not? Regards, Hartmut

Hi, as bug 302 doesn't seem to be pdftex specific, should the patch by Akira go to web2c? Regards, Thanh
