Hi GS ports maintainers and users,
I have a request about some configuration issue common to all
Ghostscript ports but japanese/vfghostscript (which is based on gs-2.6.3.)
In the document "Finding PostScript Level 2 resources",
(${PREFIX}/share/ghostscript/#.##/doc/Use.htm#PS_resources) author says:
| Ghostscript uses a completely different rule for looking for files containing
| PostScript Level 2 "resources": per the Adobe documentation, it concatenates
| together
| 1. the value of the system parameter GenericResourceDir (initially
| /Resource/)
| 2. the name of the resource category (for instance, ProcSet)
| 3. the value of the system parameter GenericResourcePathSep (initially "/")
| 4. the name of the resource instance (for instance, CIDInit)
|
| To look up fonts, after exhausting the search method described in the next
| section, it concatenates together
| 1. the value of the system parameter FontResourceDir (initially
| /Resource/Font/)
| 2. the name of the resource font (for instance, Times-Roman)
Above two system parameters, GenericResourceDir and FontResourceDir,
are defined in ${PREFIX}/share/ghostscript/#.##/gs_res.ps:
| /FontResourceDir (/Resource/Font/) readonly .forcedef % pssys'params is r-o
| /GenericResourceDir (/Resource/) readonly .forcedef % pssys'params is r-o
Would you set these params to somewhere under the ${PREFIX}?
If you agree with me, how about changing each value as follows?
/Resource/Font/ --> ${PREFIX}/share/postscript/Resource/Font/
/Resource/ --> ${PREFIX}/share/postscript/Resource/
We have two solutions to enable above modifications, I think.
1. Use ${SED} or ${PERL} at post-install to modify `gs_res.ps' or,
2. Run following code fragments from `gs_init.ps'.
(%%PREFIX%% is replaced with ${PREFIX}.)
---------------------
currentsystemparams
dup /FontResourceDir (%%PREFIX%%/share/postscript/Resource/Font/) put
dup /GenericResourceDir (%%PREFIX%%/share/postscript/Resource/) put
setsystemparams
---------------------
Affected ports are:
print/ghostscript5
print/ghostscript55
japanese/vfghostscript5
japanese/vfghostscript55
korean/ftghostscript5
x11/dgs
Any comments are welcome.
