How do I use the Xpdf language support packages with XpdfViewer,
XpdfPrint, XpdfText, etc.?
Applies to:

There are a number of
language support
packages available for Xpdf. These can also be used with the
Glyph & Cog DLLs, COM components, and ActiveX controls, following
these steps:
- First, download whichever language support package(s) you need
and unpack them. (PKZIP and WinZip can both uncompress .tar.gz
files.) You can unpack them anywhere you like - in step 3, you'll set
up the config file with the path to wherever you unpacked them.
- Create an xpdfrc
configuration file (if you haven't done this already).
- Each language support package comes with a file called
"add-to-xpdfrc". You need to insert the contents of that
file into your own xpdfrc file (created in step 2). This
information includes pointers to the various files installed when you
unpacked the language support package -- make sure you modify these
paths to match your install directory.
