再谈pdftohtml支持中文

以前的文章里提到过pdftohtml支持中文的问题, 是用ccmap里面的.cmap文件解决的.

所谓pdftohtml支持中文, 其实根fpdftohtml没什么关系, 而是pdf文件自己需要支持. 我认为它跟pdf支持复制粘贴是一回事.

今天突然发现我的pdftohtml又不支持中文了, 整蛊半天发现我不知什么时候我把那些.cmap文件删了-_-b

于是再去http://lsec.cc.ac.cn/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cct/ccmap/#dirlist逛逛, 发现原来的cmap的tar包已经删除了, 而多了一个makecmap.tex文件用于生成cmap文件.

我要转的是GBK编码的, 用命令 sudo latex \\def\\cmapEnc{GBK} \\input{makecmap.tex} 即可,
但是虽然弄出来了cmap文件, 编译出来的pdf还是不能复制粘贴, pdftohtml当然也不行.

于是上网搜了搜, 发现了CJKutf8, 说是能代替ccmap, 于是试了下, 真的可以, 只需要加入\usepackage{CJKutf8} 即可, 真不错.

不过,好像有超长行时会出些bug.

以后考虑用utf8了...

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Hardware Password Manager

[Updates 2025-01-20] The original blog post assumes that all passwords are stored in one password manager, and the password manager either unlocks everything or nothing (e.g. Keepass). After discussing with friends, I realized that if I use something like pass , and I use a hardware GPG token, I can actually store and sync all encrypted passwords to all devices, because I will only decrypt the passwords on demand, and the computer will not see the GPG private key. The compromise is that the computer will see the list of all password entries (e.g. accounts), as well as a few other issues . I've been using Keepass for many years. I don't use online password services because I cannot fully trust them. Besides, I may not always have Internet connection, which is why I also don't use a self-hosted service. Everything has been working fine, until I turn my paranoid knob to the max. Here's the thought experiment . The Imaginary Scenario Let's say I have 100 PCs for differe...

Installing Linux on Surface Pro 1g

Windows 10 will soon reach its end of life, and my 1-gen Surface Pro is not supported by Windows 11. I (finally) decided to install Linux to it. Fortunately, it's a not-so-easy nice adventure: The device has only one USB port, so I have to bring back my 10+-year old USB hub. My live USB drive cannot boot directly, I have to disable Secure Boot first, by holding Volume Up during boot. I think years ago I learned that booting on USB might not work through a USB hub, but fortunatelly it worked well with my setup. This is done by holding Volume Down during boot. Wifi adapter was detected in the live Linux environment, but not functional. And I don't have a USB-Ethernet adapter. Luckily, nowadays we have USB-tethering from Android phones, which works out-of-the-box. Originally I planned to following this guide to set up root on ZFS, however, the system froze when building the ZFS kernel module. Then I decided to just use EXT4, yet I still learned a lot from the guide about disk par...
