Subject: To compile sjis pLaTeX file...

Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2004 23:21:06 +0900

Package: ptex-bin
Version: 3.1.3+0.04a-2
Severity: minor
Tags: sid

Please make platex compile sjis LaTeX file.

In my test, I can succeed that by the followin way.


1st step) 
 Add the following line:
	platex-sjis     ptex    -       -kanji=sjis -jobname=platex-sjis -progname=platex platex.ini   
in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/30ptex.cnf.  It contains just a little
bit of a tricky way, but it seems to work well.  (As you know fmtutil treats
the format name  as the argument of the progname, but that is worse in the
current case.  I believe that we need to  ask the tetex-bin
maintainer to add the line 
	platex-sjis) prgswitch=-progname=platex
at line 562 of /usr/bin/fmtutil to fix this problem more elegantly.)  

2nd step) 
 Add the follwoin line:
  fmtutil --byfmt platex-sjis >> $TEMPFILE; $append_db $formats platex-sjis.fmt
in the /var/lib/dpkg/ptex-bin.postinst

 platex-sjis.fmt is generated in /var/lib/texmf/web2c.

final step)
 Prepare the following shell script (platex-sjis).

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/platex -kanji=sjis -progname=platex -fmt=platex.sjis $*



Please consider about this, and let me know your thinking.

Regards,

こんにちは，

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=234547

まだこのバグがcloseされていないので，現状，Debianでは実用的にsjisのTeX 
ファイルを処理する方法がありませんね．Windowsとの共存する場合は，sjis
ではなく，iso-2022-jpでソースファイルを管理することが実用的，というこ
とでしょうか．

What's the status of this bug?

Comment in Message #10 is in Japaneese, I doubt everyone can understand it?

Subject: Closing this bug

Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:42:36 +0900

Version: 2013.20130729.30972-1
Compiling SJIS encoded files with platex does not need a separate
format anymore, running
	platex -kanji-sjis <sjis-encoded-latex-file>
suffices.

Thus, closing this bug.
