It is our pleasure to announce the new release from the gs-cjk project.
The gs-cjk package is available from:
   ftp://ftp.gyve.org/pub/gs-cjk/M2/gs6.51-cjk-M2-R2.tar.gz

The gs-cjk package is a patch kit for gs6.51, which provides ability
to load CJK TrueType fonts as (fake) Type 2 CID-keyed fonts on the
fly.  Since characters in usual CJK TrueType fonts are placed in order
of Unicode or some other local encodings, we need to put the
characters according to the usual ordering of CID-keyed fonts
specified by Adobe such as Adobe-CNS1, Adobe-GB1, Adobe-Japan1,
Adobe-Japan2 and Adobe-Korea1.  This rearrangement is the main feature
of the package.  Besides, some other important fixes and extensions to
gs6.51 related with CID-keyed fonts are included in it (see the
document in the package for details).

Support of CJK TrueType fonts is essential for many CJK people, since
nice CJK TrueType font packages with various typefaces are available at
reasonable prices, while CID-keyed fonts are rare and usually expensive.

We would like to invite those who are interested in our work,
CID-keyed fonts, TrueType fonts, character encoding issues, internal
of Ghostscript, the PostScript language, translation of the document
into Chinese, and so on to the gs-cjk project.  Although the language
mainly used in the gs-cjk mailing list has been Japanese, English (and
other languages if necessary) is also welcome.

Please take a look at our web page (http://www.gyve.org/gs-cjk/) for
details of the project and the mailing list.

Enjoy!
