今年早些时候,我们使用一种名为 XeTeX 的复杂工具,为乍得(中非)的一种语言出版了新约。我们不得不使用这种复杂的工具,因为我们对排版有各种要求,例如页面边框和经文编号的装饰,而这些用其他工具制作起来更加困难。碰巧的是,PTXPrint 正是基于同一个 XeTeX 引擎构建的。在与 PTXPrint 开发人员经过大量沟通后,他们能够实现了我们对该排版几乎全部的要求。事实上,同一种语言上个月还完成了《创世记》,并希望使用基本上相同的要求出版该书的测试版本。虽然仍有一些问题需要与开发人员解决,但最终我们制作出的《创世记》PDF 质量与年初出版的新约几乎相同。这将为我节省大量时间,因为 XeTeX 的大部分复杂性都隐藏在 PTXPrint 友好的用户界面之后。感谢你们的辛勤努力!
We published a New Testament earlier this year in a language of Chad (central Africa) using a very complex tool called XeTeX. We had to use that complex tool because we had various requirements for the typesetting, like borders around the page and decorations for the verse numbers, which were even more difficult to produce with other tools. Well, it just so happens that PTXPrint is built on this same XeTeX engine, and after a lot of back and forth with the PTXPrint developers, they were able to implement almost the entire set of requirements that we had for that typesetting. In fact, this same language also completed the book of Genesis and wanted to publish a test version of the book this past month, using basically those same requirements. There were still a few issues that needed to be resolved with the developers, but in the end, we were able to produce the PDF for Genesis that was almost the same quality as the NT published earlier in the year. This is going to be a great time-saver for me, as most of the complexity of XeTeX is hidden behind the friendly user interface of PTXPrint. Thank you for your diligent efforts!
