[gs-devel] ArabicTransparent and ArabicTransparent-Bold Fonts

[Levi]

One thing to note is when I was trying to do this before this thread,
I never have had a "Resource" folder or a "toolbin" folder in my
gs8.63 directory.  I installed ghostscript using the EXE installer and
it must not set those up.  However, I have since downloaded the ZIP of
gs and extracted those folders into my gs8.63 folder so I could run
the toolbin/genfontmap.ps .  Could this be part of my problem?  Is
this not setup correctly?

Here is the command I ran to convert my PDF as well as the generated output:

C: >>gswin32c.exe -dPrinted -dBATCH -dPDFFitPage -dUseCropBox
-dNOPAUSE -dDITHERPPI=100 -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -r600x600
-sFONTPATH=C:/windows/fonts -sOutput
File="c:\temp\arabic1.tif" "C:\temp\arabic.pdf"

Do I need to setup a resource path to point to the "Resource"
directory?  From the documentation it seems like it should
automatically pick it up.  I am running the gswin32 from a command
prompt from the bin directory.

Unfortunately I cannot send the PDF file that I'm working with due to
privacy restrictions.  I have however attached the "Properties" dialog
from FoxIt reader that lists the fonts it's trying to find.

I've attached the output from this command, and it looks like it's
picking up the font names correctly.
