(1) Software requirements:
Install ghostscript (espgs-7.05.6), font (gnu-gs-fonts) and ghostview (gv) packages
(2) Font requirements:
Install SimSun, SimHei and other Chinese TTF fonts to XFree86 TTF font dir
(3) Hack the ghostscript:
Backup file /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib/CIDFnmap, then modify it as follows:
%(CIDFnmap.Win) .runlibfile
% Add the following line
(CIDFnmap.zhcn) .runlibfile
Add file /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib/CIDFnmap.zhcn as follows:
/SimSun
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/simsun.ttc)
;
/STSong-Light
/SimSun
;
/Beijing
/SimSun
;
%/NSimSun
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/simsun.ttc)
2
;
/Adobe-GB1
/SimSun
;
/SimHei
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/simhei.ttf)
;
/STHeiti-Regular
/SimHei
;
/SimFang
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/simfang.ttf)
;

(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fzwbjw.ttf)
;
/FZKai
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fzktjw.ttf)
;
/FZShuTi
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fzstjw.ttf)
;
/SIL-FangSong-
/STFangsong-Light
;
/SIL-FangSong-Reg-Jian
/STFangsong-Light
;
/SIL-Hei-Med-Jian
/STHeiti-Regular
;
/SIL-Kai-
/STKaiti-Regular
;
/SIL-Kai-Reg-Jian
/STKaiti-Regular
;
/SIL-Song-Reg-Jian
/STSong-Light
;
Backup /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib/gs_res.ps, then modify it as follows:
Find the following line
/GenericResourceDir (/usr/share/ghostscript/) readonly .forcedef
Replace it with the following line
/GenericResourceDir (/usr/share/ghostscript/resource/) readonly .forcedef
(4) Add Adobe CMAP for CID fonts to ghostscript
Download ac14.tar.Z and ag14.tar.Z from the following link:
ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/pub/examples/nutshell/cjkv/adobe/
Execute the following commands:
# cd /usr/share/ghostscript/
# mkdir resource
# cd resource
# mkdir CMap
# tar -zxvf /tmp/ac14.tar.Z
# tar -zxvf /tmp/ag14.tar.Z
# cp ac14/CMap/* ag14/CMap/* CMap
# rm -rf ac14 ag14
Alternatively, if you want the latest Adobe CMAP files, download "Complete set of Adobe CMAP files for CID Fonts" in the "Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType" from adobe.com:
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/tech/type/otfdk/index.jsp
Execute the following commands:
# cd /usr/share/ghostscript/
# mkdir resource
# cd resource
# mkdir CMap
# unzip /tmp/Adobe Cmaps.zip
# cp Adobe Cmaps/Adobe-CNS1-2/* Adobe Cmaps/Adobe-CNS1-3/*
Adobe Cmaps/Adobe-CNS1-4/* Adobe Cmaps/Adobe-GB1-3/*
Adobe Cmaps/Adobe-GB1-4/* Adobe Cmaps/Adobe-Identity-0/*
CMap
# rm -rf Adobe Cmaps
(5) Hack Mozilla/Firebird preference file:
Modify mozilla/default/pref/unix.js as follows:
Look for the following line:
pref("print.postscript.nativefont.zh-CN", "");
Replace it with the following line:
pref("print.postscript.nativecode.zh-CN", "gb2312");
pref("print.postscript.nativefont.zh-CN", "SimSun-GB-EUC-H");
