% % An example logo character. Building the PostScript program that prints % your company logo is not addressed here; we assume you already have % such a program, that it's relatively simple, and that it prints the % logo by itself on a page. What you'll find here are instructions for % converting that logo program into a character that can be accessed by % troff and dpost. % % Building a new charlib character involves some PostScript programming. % We've tried to isolate parameters that you'll need to change (Xoffset, % Yoffset, and Scaling), but we can't guarantee things will work properly % with every logo program. PostScript is a complex language and subtle % interactions between your logo program and what we've done here can % cause problems. % % Tuning the new character is an iterative process. You may want to adjust % the size of the logo (via Scaling), it's position relative to adjacent % characters and the baseline (Xoffset and Yoffset), and the distance troff % moves after printing the character (width field in file ../S1). The steps % to follow are: % % 1: Create a simple troff test file for the new character. Something % like, % % .sp 1i % .ps 10 % size 10: \(LH % .sp 1i % .ps 18 % size 18: \(LH % .sp 1i % .ps 36 % size 36: \(LH % .sp 1i % .ps 10 % four logo characters: \(LH\(LH\(LH\(LH % % is sufficient. The test file can go anywhere. % % 2: Change into directory /usr/lib/font/devpost/charlib. All file % pathnames will be relative to that directory. % % 3: Save a copy of the working LH logo file. Then replace LH with % this file (i.e. LH.example). Changes described below should be % be made in the new LH file (not in LH.example). % % 4: Your PostScript logo program will eventually replace whatever % you find between the <> and <> comment lines % in the PostScript build_LH procedure (below). What's there now % prints an example logo that you can use until you understand the % remaining steps. % % 5: Print your troff test file using (assuming your making changes % in the devpost charlib directory), % % troff -Tpost testfile | dpost | lp ... % % 6: Adjust the logo positioning by changing the numbers assigned to % Xoffset and Yoffset (below). Both are in units of 72 per inch. % Positive offsets should move the logo to the right and up the % page. % % 7: Adjust the logo size by changing the the number assigned to % Scaling. Unitsize also controls scaling, but there's no good % reason to change both Scaling and Unitsize. % % 8: Control the horizontal distance troff moves after printing the % new LH character by changing the width (i.e. the number in the % second column) assigned to LH in file ../S1. Character width % adjustments should probably wait until you're satisfied with % the Scaling set in step 7. % % 9: Back to step 5 until your satisfied with the output. % % The remaining steps are suggested but not required: % % 10: Delete PostScript comments in your new LH charlib file - comments % start with % and go to the end of the line. % % 11: Update the width field assigned to LH in file ../shell.lib. The % new width should reflect what's currently in your S1 font file. % % 12: Make a similiar set of changes in /usr/lib/font/devLatin1/charlib. % You can use the devpost version of LH to devLatin1/charlib/LH, % but changes to files devLatin1/S1 and devLatin1/shell.lib must be % entered by hand. % /Logo_Dict 100 dict dup begin /Xoffset 0 def % 72 dpi with positive to the right /Yoffset 0 def % 72 dpi with positive up the page /Scaling 1.0 def % adjust this number to change the size /Unitsize 36 def % for point size scaling - leave it be /showpage {} def end def /build_LH { % don't bind this procedure Logo_Dict begin gsave /charwidth exch def currentpoint translate resolution 72 div dup scale Xoffset Yoffset translate Scaling Scaling scale ptsize Unitsize div dup scale %% Replace everything between the <> and <> %% comment lines by the PostScript program that prints your %% logo. %% <> newpath .5 .5 scale 0 0 moveto 100 0 lineto 100 100 lineto closepath .5 setgray fill 0 setgray 10 10 translate 45 rotate 0 5 moveto /Helvetica findfont 18 scalefont setfont (Example Logo) show %% <> grestore end } def
