[ANNOUNCEMENT] ghostscript 9.22-2

[Ken Brown]

The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* ghostscript-9.22-2
* libgs9-9.22-2
* libgs-devel-9.22-2

GNU Ghostscript is a PostScript interpreter capable of converting PS
files into a number of printer output formats.  Ghostscript can also
render PS files into a number of graphics file formats.

This is a rebuild with a couple of bug fixes.  In particular, it
should fix the problem reported here:

Ghostscript cannot find CMaps in Poppler

[Vonobow Smith]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2137 bytes --]

 From Cygwin which is bundled with Ghostscript 9.21,
Ghostscript cannot find CMap's at all. As a result, CJK characters 
cannot be rendered at all.

> $ gsnd
> GPL Ghostscript 9.22 (2017-10-04)

> GS>/UniJIS-UTF8-H /CMap findresource
> Error: /undefinedresource in findresource

This is caused by incorrect setting of search path for Ghostscript,
or the directory hierarchy of Poppler.

 GS search path is set as following:

$ gs --help
> GPL Ghostscript 9.22 (2017-10-04)
> Copyright (C) 2017 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.
> Usage: gs [switches] [file1.ps file2.ps ...]
... snip ...
> Search path:
>    /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init :
>    /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/lib :
>    /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Font :
>    /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts : /usr/share/fonts/urw-base35 :
>    /usr/share/fonts : /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-CNS1 :
>    /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-GB1 :
>    /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Japan1 :
>    /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Japan2 :
>    /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Korea1

However, CMap files are placed at:
> $ cd /usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Japan1/; ls
> 78-EUC-H                Adobe-Japan1-H-CID   UniHojo-UTF32-H
> 78-EUC-V                Adobe-Japan1-H-Host  UniHojo-UTF32-V
> 78-H                    Adobe-Japan1-H-Mac   UniHojo-UTF8-H
... snip ...

The problem is directory hierachy lacks the element "CMap".
CMap files must be found in CMap directory under the search path, like:

/usr/share/poppler/cMap/Adobe-Japan1/CMap/UniJIS-UTF8-H
                                     ^^^^
The old version of the Ghostscript held CMap's under:

/usr/share/ghostscript/ver.sion/Resources/CMap

and this is correct.

The easiest way to solve this problem is creating symbolic links
which name is "CMap" in each directories containing CMap files,
target of the links are the directories itself, like that:

cd /usr/share/poppler/cMap; for i in *; do (cd $i; ln -s . CMap); done

Sorry if it is alread reported. Best Regards.

Thanks for the report.  I'll fix this in a slightly different way with a 
new ghostscript release.  It might take a week or so before I can get to 
this.

I've uploaded ghostscript-9.22-3, which should fix this.  Please confirm.

Now it seems to work fine.
My vertical writing script also works fine. :-)

Thank you for resolving the problem.

Best regards.
