Didier and all,

I believe GNU Ghostscript can finally include the CMap files now. I looked at the license and I believe it is fine; standard stuff.

I haven't looked at the actual content to see if there are any differences from what Aladdin Ghostscript, et al., have been distributing.

Best, karl

I would like to let you know that we just launched the "CMap Resources" open source project at Adobe, which puts all of our CMap resources under a more favorable open source license. Note that I excluded the Adobe-Japan2-0 CMap resources, because they have been in deprecated status ever since Adobe-Japan1-6 was released to completely cover JIS X 0212-1990.

Anyway, you can get the details here:

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cmap/

When you have a chance, please notify the appropriate people in the open source community about this. I know that some of them have been asking us to provide our CMap resources under a more favorable license, and for them, that day has come.

With best regards...
