Re: [cjk] Installation Cyberbit as PostScript font failed

[Hin-Tak Leung]

Noto CJK is not SourceSan, I think? One is from Google, the other from Adobe...

hanazono (as recommended by the bottom of the front of ctext.org) should have 
everything. it explicitly says to have extension A, B, C, D, E, though BCDE is 
in a different file.

If you want to see a particular font has all you need or general glyph coverage 
for that matter, 
Get "FontVal-2.0.0-py-bin-net4.zip" from 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hp-pxl-jetready/files/Microsoft%20Font%20Validator/
 , unzip, and doble-click on "fontVal.exe", load a font with 'add font file', 
unselect every test, except "OS/2" . The OS/2 table analysis should tell you if 
the font claims to support CJK extension A, and whether and how many glyphs are 
missing in that range.  Argh, it lumps extension A and extension B together, 
but you get a number.
(I built it, and please feel free to click on the 'donate' link above...)

 Thorsten,
 
 
 glad to hear that it worked! 
 Here some remarks.

 Why `sudo' for running
 fontforge and the other commands?  In general,
 you should *work* and *create* files in your
 home directory.  If
 everything is OK, you
 should then *install* to /usr/local/ (or
 whatever).  `sudo' is far too dangerous
 for normal work.

 This comment is not correct. 
 IIRC, SourceHan also contains CJK
 characters
 outside the BMP (i.e., U+0000-U+FFFF).

 Here's a typo: `CJKB'
 -> `CJKb'.  Given that HanSource has a real bold
 variant, you could (and probably should)
 replace this poorman's
 emboldening with
 something better.

 Please delete those files.  They are not
 needed, and maybe even cause
 problems.

 Please check your input file
 and tell me the correponding Unicode code
 points.  I can't believe that they are not
 covered in HanSource (TC
 version)...
