Please enable cid-x.map in dvipdfmx.cfg when installing texlive-langjapanese

Hi!

I've just updated with the latest packages texlive-*-20170412-1,

Thank you for maintaining and updating TeX Live for cygwin.

When we use dvipdfmx with Japanese fonts, we might encounter warnings/fatal:

> dvipdfmx:warning: Could not locate a virtual/physical font for TFM "gbm".
> dvipdfmx:warning: >> There are no valid font mapping entry for this font.
> dvipdfmx:warning: >> Font file name "gbm" was assumed but failed to locate that font.
> dvipdfmx:fatal: Cannot proceed without .vf or "physical" font for PDF output...

To avoid them, we'd need this change: 

--- /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg	2017-05-07
08:00:30.790411600 +0900
+++ /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg	2017-05-05 06:03:31.000000000 +0900
@@ -215,7 +215,7 @@
 %f psfonts.map
 
 %% Put additional fontmap files here (usually for Type0 fonts)
-%f  cid-x.map
+f  cid-x.map
 
 % the following file is generated by updmap(-sys) from the 
 % KanjiMap entries in the updmap.cfg file.

But the file 'usr/share/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg' is packaged in
texlive-collection-basic-20170412-1.tar.xz


So please put some codes like this into
'etc/postinstall/texlive-collection-langjapanese.sh'
if it doesn't cause unwanted effects.


cp /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg \
   /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg.orig
sed -e 's/^\%f  cid-x\.map/f  cid-x\.map/' \
   /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg.orig \
 > /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg


And we might need a preremove script for reverting the change...


Regards,

> The mathscience collection is new; it is a combination of the old mathextra and science collections.
> 
> The bibtexextra collection is marked as a test release because it includes biblatex-3.7, which is designed to work with biber-2.7.  In order to use it, you will have to install the test release of perl-5.24 and then build biber-2.7 yourself.  I can provide instructions if anyone wants to do this.
> 
> Recommendations
> ===============
> Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge and can take a long time to install.  If you're not sure what you need, here are some possible ways to start:
> 
> Minimal: Install texlive and its dependencies.  This provides plain TeX but not LaTeX.
> 
> Small: Install texlive-collection-latex and its dependencies.  This is a minimal installation with LaTeX.
> 
> Standard: Install texlive-collection-latexrecommended and its dependencies. This provides the most commonly used non-graphics LaTeX packages.  Install texlive-collection-pictures if you want the standard graphics packages too.
> 
> If you want or need more, consider installing some of the following:
> 
> * texlive-collection-binextra
> * texlive-collection-context
> * texlive-collection-fontsrecommended
> * texlive-collection-fontutils
> * texlive-collection-genericrecommended
> * texlive-collection-luatex
> * texlive-collection-mathscience
> * texlive-collection-metapost
> * texlive-collection-plainextra
> * texlive-collection-xetex
> 
> Fontconfig
> ==========
> There is a script /usr/bin/texlive-enable-fontconfig that you can run if you want the fonts distributed with TeX Live to be available to applications that rely on fontconfig.  See /usr/share/doc/texlive/README.Cygwin for more details. (The script can take a few minutes to run, so be patient.)
> 
> tlmgr
> =====
> texlive-collection-basic includes a restricted version of the tlmgr (TeX Live Manager) utility.  See /usr/share/doc/texlive-collection-basic/README.Cygwin for more details.
