[Qgis-community-team] manual in pdf

[NUIMURA, Takayuki]

In Japanese LaTeX community, it is known that, pdftex (pdflatex) cause 
error for compilation with Japanese font.
Hence, we Japanese use platex + dvipdfmx command as alternative of pdftex.

And platex command cannot read png image format. A bounding box file 
(*.bb) must be generate before compilation.


Although usage of if function for ja locale might not smart way, I 
suggest following modification of post_translate.sh:

   if [[ $1 = "ja" ]]; then
       # Japanese cannot build using pdflatex
        find -name "*.png" -exec ebb {} \;
        platex QGISUserGuide.tex
        platex QGISUserGuide.tex
        dvipdfmx QGISUserGuide.dvi
   else
       # need to build 3x to have proper toc and index
       texi2pdf --quiet QGISUserGuide.tex
       texi2pdf --quiet QGISUserGuide.tex
       texi2pdf --quiet QGISUserGuide.tex
   fi
