今年早些時候,我們使用一款名為 XeTeX 的複雜工具,在乍得(中非)的一種語言中出版了新約聖經。我們必須使用這款複雜工具,是因為我們對排版有各種要求,例如頁面邊框和節號裝飾,這些用其他工具製作起來更加困難。碰巧的是,PTXPrint 正是建立在這個相同的 XeTeX 引擎之上。經過與 PTXPrint 開發人員的大量溝通,他們能夠實現我們對該排版幾乎所有的要求。事實上,同一種語言的社群也完成了創世記,並希望在上個月出版該書的測試版本,基本上使用相同的排版要求。雖然仍有幾個問題需要與開發人員解決,但最終我們能夠生成創世記的 PDF,其質量與年初出版的新約幾乎相同。這將為我節省大量時間,因為 XeTeX 的大部分複雜性都隱藏在 PTXPrint 友好的用戶界面之後。感謝你們的辛勤努力!
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!
