Font-specific issues in pdfTEX \DeclareFontFamily{C70}{cyberbit} {\hyphenchar\font -1} \DeclareFontShape{C70}{cyberbit}{m}{n} { CJK * cyberb}{} \begin{document} \begin{CJK}{UTF8}{cyberbit} \CJKnospace \end{CJK} \end{document} There are many details that are not mentioned here, however the above example should give a good feeling about what can be done. 7 runpdftex — a wrapper to run pdfTEX This section is not about a font-related topic in pdfTEX, but it is also relevant to pdfTEX so I take this opportunity to mention it. runpdftex is a wrapper that allows applications to call pdfTEX via a well-defined API in C. The main intention is to hide TEX-specific details from the application that calls pdfTEX to generate a PDF file. A developer can call pdfTEX to convert a TEX file to PDF using library calls that are robust, easy to understand and use, and take care of error handling. This way, a Web developer who is not a TEX expert can set up a system that uses pdfTEX to create PDF output on-demand, for example some report, form, timetable or bank statement. The Web developer can ask or hire a TEX guru to write a TEX file or template that produces the required output. This is still an experimental project, however I hope it will make pdfTEX more friendly to Web developers who need to create PDF on-demand but are too scared by TEX’s complexity to give it a try. The API is available only for C at the moment, but support for other languages will be added. This wrapper has been designed with pdfTEX in mind, but can be used to run other TEX variants as well, for example LuaTEX when it is ready. For further information about runpdftex see [6].

Those obscure accents . . . Karel Horák Institute of Mathematics, Academy of Sciences, Praha horakk (at) math dot cas dot cz Abstract »A special shape of a háček, similar to an apostrophe, is used in Czech and Slovak with ď, ľ, Ľ and ť characters. It could be derived from the apostrophe or comma, but it should be more humble, smaller, and, importantly, narrower. Generally, the symbol should draw less attention than the comma. This special form could also take a straight shape similar to acute; this usually occupies less space than an apostrophe-like form and it does not cause as many problems in kerning. Vertically, the symbol is most often placed towards the ascender line, but its position does not necessarily have to be constant (with ť, it is often necessary to place the accent higher that with the other characters). With capital Ľ, it is desirable that the accent exceeds the height of the character. This is mostly equivalent with justifying the upper edge of the accent to the ascender line.« [DIACRITICS, a project by typo.cz and designiq.cz] An excursion into history with many examples of good, bad and ugly solutions. Briefly from the history The motto quoted in the abstract, which states in the condensed form the final lesson I learned during the long (never finished) way to understand typographic quality, would be sufficient. Nevertheless I try to give a brief summary of this rather old historical problem which (as far as I know) was never touched in our Grand Wizard’s creativity (at least not in the five books of the Computer & Typesetting series, I suspect). It is believed that usage of accents in Czech orthography comes from Jan Hus (sometimes quoted as John Huss in English literature) or from his circle (the famous tractate De orthographia Bohemica which is also usually designated to Jan Hus originated around 1406). It solves the problem of how to write consonants which do not exist in the Latin alphabet: not as a pair of letters (digraph) but with only one letter, as close as possible to the original one, with some diacritic sign (caron or háček for soft consonants and acute for long consonants). The accent for softening appears often as a dot, then a hook, not exactly in the same shape as today — in many cases it is closer to the shape of the hook of letters ť or ď: It should be noticed that black letters (fraktur) were widely used in those times for typesetting. And for many years, types were often not created in the country but brought from abroad. Black letters were used in printing until the end of 18th century. Roman letters were used rarely, mostly in titles only. With the exception of Comenius’ book published 1659 in Amsterdam the first Czech book printed in roman letters appears only in 1738. One exception is shown in Comenius’ manuscript of Didactica (Leśno 1627–32): Note that the original form of dot still exists in Polish ż and also that the original digraphs sz and cz are still in use there. 42 TUGboat, Volume 29, No. 1 — XVII European TEX Conference, 2007
