Hi Tom, བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས
have you tried the font TibMachUni-1.901b.ttf? It is available via package manager e.g. in Fedora 39. Can post a source file for your examples, please? I may try in tomorrow. Best regards, Oliver. On 21/01/2024 00:09, Tom wrote:
Hi, I did typeset few books in Heirloom Troff with quite good outcome. For next book I need to use Tibetan font and unfortunately I can't make work in Heirloom Troff and Groff, only Neatroff does work. Right now I'm eager to completely switch to Groff. I can make any font work in Groff but not Tibetan. To my basic knowledge, I guess it is all about blwm and blws not accessible. There are only few Tibetan fonts with complex glyph composition which works in Neatroff. In groff I have managed only BabelStoneTibetan to display but several glyphs doesn't compose. For viewing I have attached Groff and Neatroff pdfs. YagpoTibetanUni: 100% composing in Neatroff but 100% failed in Groff and Heirloom troff. BabelStoneTibetan: 100% failed in Groff and Neatroff. I have tried various tibetan fonts, as well NotoSerifTibetan present in linux repositories. All those fonts don't work and groff yields: troff:<standard input>:20: warning: special character 'u0F04' not defined troff:<standard input>:20: warning: special character 'u0F05' not defined troff:<standard input>:20: warning: special character 'u0F0D' not defined ... If I understand enough, the warnings are about missing glyph mappings. Would you mind to have a look and check if Tibetan fonts are possible to make work in Groff ? I appreciate for any hints, and direction I can follow to make it happen. Regards, Tom
