% An example logo character. Building the PostScript program that prints
|
|
|
3 |
% your company logo is not addressed here; we assume you already have
|
|
|
4 |
% such a program, that it's relatively simple, and that it prints the
|
|
|
5 |
% logo by itself on a page. What you'll find here are instructions for
|
|
|
6 |
% converting that logo program into a character that can be accessed by
|
|
|
7 |
% troff and dpost.
|
|
|

%
|

% Building a new charlib character involves some PostScript programming.
|
|
|
10 |
% We've tried to isolate parameters that you'll need to change (Xoffset,
|
|
|
11 |
% Yoffset, and Scaling), but we can't guarantee things will work properly
|
|
|
12 |
% with every logo program. PostScript is a complex language and subtle
|
|
|
13 |
% interactions between your logo program and what we've done here can
|
|
|
14 |
% cause problems.
|
|
|
15 |
%
|
|
|
16 |
% Tuning the new character is an iterative process. You may want to adjust
|
|
|
17 |
% the size of the logo (via Scaling), it's position relative to adjacent
|
|
|
18 |
% characters and the baseline (Xoffset and Yoffset), and the distance troff
|
|
|
19 |
% moves after printing the character (width field in file ../S1). The steps
|
|
|
20 |
% to follow are:
|
|
|
21 |
%
|
|
|
22 |
% 1: Create a simple troff test file for the new character. Something
|
|
|
23 |
% like,
|
|
|
24 |
%
|
|
|
25 |
% .sp 1i
|
|
|
26 |
% .ps 10
|
|
|
27 |
% size 10: \(LH
|
|
|
28 |
% .sp 1i
|
|
|
29 |
% .ps 18
|
|
|
30 |
% size 18: \(LH
|
|
|
31 |
% .sp 1i
|
|
|
32 |
% .ps 36
|
|
|
33 |
% size 36: \(LH
|
|
|
34 |
% .sp 1i
|
|
|
35 |
% .ps 10
|
|
|
36 |
% four logo characters: \(LH\(LH\(LH\(LH
|
|
|
37 |
%
|
|
|
38 |
% is sufficient. The test file can go anywhere.
|
|
|
39 |
%
|
|
|
40 |
% 2: Change into directory /usr/lib/font/devpost/charlib. All file
|
|
|
41 |
% pathnames will be relative to that directory.
|
|
|
42 |
%
|
|
|
43 |
% 3: Save a copy of the working LH logo file. Then replace LH with
|
|
|
44 |
% this file (i.e. LH.example). Changes described below should be
|
|
|
45 |
% be made in the new LH file (not in LH.example).
|
|
|
46 |
%
|
|
|
47 |
% 4: Your PostScript logo program will eventually replace whatever
|
|
|
48 |
% you find between the <<StartLogo>> and <<EndLogo>> comment lines
|
|
|
49 |
% in the PostScript build_LH procedure (below). What's there now
|
|
|
50 |
% prints an example logo that you can use until you understand the
|
|
|
51 |
% remaining steps.
|
|
|
52 |
%
|
|
|
53 |
% 5: Print your troff test file using (assuming your making changes
|
|
|
54 |
% in the devpost charlib directory),
|
|
|
55 |
%
|
|
|
56 |
% troff -Tpost testfile | dpost | lp ...
|
|
|
57 |
%
|
|
|
58 |
% 6: Adjust the logo positioning by changing the numbers assigned to
|
|
|
59 |
% Xoffset and Yoffset (below). Both are in units of 72 per inch.
|
|
|
60 |
% Positive offsets should move the logo to the right and up the
|
|
|
61 |
% page.
|
|
|
62 |
%
|
|
|
63 |
% 7: Adjust the logo size by changing the the number assigned to
|
|
|
64 |
% Scaling. Unitsize also controls scaling, but there's no good
|
|
|
65 |
% reason to change both Scaling and Unitsize.
|
|
|
66 |
%
|
|
|
67 |
% 8: Control the horizontal distance troff moves after printing the
|
|
|
68 |
% new LH character by changing the width (i.e. the number in the
|
|
|
69 |
% second column) assigned to LH in file ../S1. Character width
|
|
|
70 |
% adjustments should probably wait until you're satisfied with
|
|
|
71 |
% the Scaling set in step 7.
|
|
|
72 |
%
|
|
|
73 |
% 9: Back to step 5 until your satisfied with the output.
|
|
|
74 |
%
|
|
|
75 |
% The remaining steps are suggested but not required:
|
|
|
76 |
%
|
|
|
77 |
% 10: Delete PostScript comments in your new LH charlib file - comments
|
|
|
78 |
% start with % and go to the end of the line.
|
|
|
79 |
%
|
|
|
80 |
% 11: Update the width field assigned to LH in file ../shell.lib. The
|
|
|
81 |
% new width should reflect what's currently in your S1 font file.
|
|
|
82 |
%
|
|
|
83 |
% 12: Make a similiar set of changes in /usr/lib/font/devLatin1/charlib.
|
|
|
84 |
% You can use the devpost version of LH to devLatin1/charlib/LH,
|
|
|
85 |
% but changes to files devLatin1/S1 and devLatin1/shell.lib must be
|
|
|
86 |
% entered by hand.
