Description Rafał Mużyło 2008-05-24 13:25:50 UTC
poppler-data in most part is a collection of cMaps.
ghostscript-gpl (other too) with cjk useflag installs some cMaps.
With the release of poppler-data-0.2.0, I think all cMaps provided for
ghostscript are in poppler-data.
There are a few files with ghostscript cMaps not provided by poppler-data,
but I THINK, that those aren't used by ghostscript anyway (are simply infos for ghostscript developers and users).
Could somebody check this claim, cause if it's correct maybe it
would be simpler to add poppler-data dependency to ghostscript for cjk,
instead of providing separate CMaps ?
