Package: cjk-latex
Version: 4.5.1-4
Severity: normal
I used \begin{CJK*}{GB}{song} .. \end{CJK*} around some
GB2312-encoded Chinese characters in a letter which I
intended to send by fax. Because I was going to fax it
using a fax modem, I used the -Pdfaxlo option of dvips
(see /etc/texmf/dvips/config.dfaxlo) so that Metafont is
set to generate optimal bitmaps for the G3 fax resolution
(204dpi horizontal, 98dpi vertical). This resulted in the
Chinese characters coming out as double height (as seen
in GhostScript) and partially overprinting the line above.
It seems that, when the CJK characters were involved,
Metafont ignored the fact that the vertical resolution was
only about half the horizontal resolution. This bug would
also affect people who want to use Metafont to optimise
the quality of old inkjet printers that have different
horizontal and vertical resolutions, although it may not
be so obvious.
