ubuntu上使用 gitbook 生成 pdf 电子书:解决中文乱码问题

本文链接：https://blog.csdn.net/marvellousbinary/article/details/80527189

gitbook 上有很多电子书, 有些没有提供下载 pdf 功能,

在网上搜了下, 可以使用 gitbook 命令行工具来生成 pdf mobi epub 格式的文件.
这里在 windows 子系统 ubuntu 的 shell 环境

安装

sudo apt-get install npm

gitbook 命令行工具

sudo npm install gitbook-cli -g

{% note warnig %} 加了 -g 参数后, 注意要加 sudo, 否则报错 {% endnote %}

下载内容

将 gitbook 书籍的 github 源码 clone 下来
git clone repo

配置

如果 repo 中没有 book.json , 则需要配置生成电子书的参数,
例如

{
    "title": "python数据结构",
    "description": "problem solving ",
    "author": "zh",
    "language": "zh-hans",
    "styles": {
        "website": "style.css"
    },
    "plugins": [
        "-lunr",
        "-search",
        "-livereload",
        "-sharing",
        "book-summary-scroll-position-saver",
        "expandable-chapters",
        "search-plus",
        "splitter",
        "tbfed-pagefooter",
        "back-to-top-button",
        "yahei",
        "katex",
        "theme-api",
        "theme-comscore"
    ],
    "pluginsConfig": {
        "expandable-chapters": {},
        "theme-api": { "theme": "light" },
        "tbfed-pagefooter": {
            "copyright": "&copy; HeDonghai",
            "modify_label": "文件修订时间：",
            "modify_format": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"
        },
        "fontSettings": {
            "theme": "white",
            "family": "msyh",
            "size": 2
          }
    },
    "pdf": {
        "toc": true,
        "pageNumbers": true,
        "fontSize": 18,
        "paperSize": "a4",
        "margin": {
          "right": 30,
          "left": 30,
          "top": 30,
          "bottom": 50
        }
      }
}

安装插件

最开始我直接在任意目录下用 gitbook install someplugin, 结果显示 nothing to install
应该在 repo 目录下使用 gitbook install 就自动安装 book.json 中的插件了

中文字体

如果这时直接在 repo 下 gitbook pdf/mobi/epub, 生成的电子书会乱码, 因为没有对应的字体
应该这样解决
book.json 中配置了什么字体, 如上面的是微软雅黑,
在 控制面板>外观和个性化>字体 中复制对应的字体文件到 /usr/share/fonts/truetype
