Hello,
some remarks/errors of the current UTF-8 Chinese support in ConTeXt 2005.12.19: (For (a) to (c) see also attached file.)
a) unic-chi.tex: This contains the unicode vectors for which a Chinese font will be used; currently it only covers \dostepwiserecurse{40}{159}{1}{\defineunicodecommand #1 {\uchar}} but this it misses the U+FFxx characters (fullwidth latin characters, e.g. '?' which is as wide as a Chinese character) => solution: Add \defineunicodecommand 255 {\uchar}
b) Labels: lang-chi.tex contains: \setuplabeltext [\s!cn] [\v!figure={\cnencoding\cnencodedfigure}] \startencoding[uni-c] \definecommand cnencodedfigure {\uchar{86}{254}} but if I use (with UTF-8) \placefigure{}{} the figure character is not shown; however if I setup this directly, i.e. \setuplabeltext[cn][figure={\uchar{86}{254}}] , the character is shown just fine.
was this du eto the uni-c c-uni mixup?
c) Doing font switching using \SimKaiTi seems to convert back to GBK, can we have Unicode by default (at least when UTF-8 encoding is used)?
we need to come up with a better setup for this, just make me the definitions and i'll see how they will fit in ...
Examples for (a) to (c) see attachment (UTF-8 encoded).
Wish for the native speakers: Please translate - Graphics/Illustration and Intermezzo(s)
Question to native speakers: - \c!date={\v!month,\ ,\v!day,{,\ },\v!year}, Is this really the default? Or should this be year年month月day日?

Another questions: a) How to typset from top-to-bottom right-to-left using column(sets)?
hm, columnsets ... just make them small enough; should work ok (including graphic spans)
b) How to change the numberformat used?
eh ... wang lei should know ... i have to look into it (chinese supports multiple number formats) Hans
