1. afmtodit sunext*.afm textmap SUNEXT*
2. pfbtopfa sunext*.pfb
3. move SUNEXT* sunext*.pfa to ~/share/groff/1.19.3/font/devps
4. add `sunext??? sunext???.pfa ` to
~/share/groff/1.19.3/font/devps/dowload
then groff an example with:
groff -Kutf8 1.me >tt.ps
it complains:
1.me:1: warning: can't find font `SUNEX9a'
1.me:2: warning: can't find special character `u4E2D'
1.me:2: warning: can't find special character `u6587'
sorry, I misstaked the font name., it works in the end.
Using fontforge to find which chinese glyphs in the pfa file ( like
sunex9a.pfa), then just input some of those glyphs will give correct ps
file. If It can use groff's fallback mechanism, it should be works,
however, I don't know how to do it. :)
