undefined behaviors, some of which are coherent in 0.9.2,
others like CID & TTF naming conventions are not standardized
yet.
Future versions should move to FreeType 2, since it has more
font support, especially for CID fonts, so that some really
hacks can be removed from TTFM.
This version fixes some minor typos and bugs in ttfm.sh and X modules,
and the ghostscript6.ttfm module was also added. The new module is to
be used along with the forthcoming zh-ghostscript6 and zh-enscript. It
can also be used as a CID font manager. Relative info can be found at:

The new GS6 module is written with Japan/Korean in mind, meaning there
are some barebones for identifying/using Japan/Korean TTF/CIDs.
TODO modules:
* Abiword
* ChiTeX
* CID for XFree86-4
* CJK
* cwTeX
* GS5.5/vflib
A True Type Font Manager that handles true type font installation,
uninstallation, list, and default font setting. It was originally
in the CLE Linux distribution, modified by Cheng Yuan-Chung from
Joerg Pommnitz's ttmkfdir, to have Big5/GB TTF better detection.
There are four modules as of version 0.9.0 for their respective apps:
chitex: For ChiTeX, a Chinese TeX/LaTeX
ttf2pk: Generate pk/tfm for CJK
xfreetype: For Xfsft in XFree86 3.3.x and "freetype" module in 4.x
xttfm: For X-TT in XFree86 3.3.x and "xtt" module in 4.x, available
in both tcl and sh versions.
Since ChiTeX hasn't been ported yet, CJK needs further tuning, only
xfreetype & xttfm are available right now. Future applications which
uses TTF(like ghostscript) should use TTFM to manage TTF. The importing
of this port also implies existing ports like arphicttf/moettf should
be re-written.
