Hi guys, I can confirm that the UTF-8 input doesn't work for me too. If I convert the file info GBK (CP936), it works fine [I suggest to use the 'iconv' utility for the conversion :-)]. I tested the UTF-8 output the followin ways: 1) \enableregime[utf] \usemodule[chinese] Processing a file with this setup ends with an error: --- cut --- kpathsea: Running mktextfm gbsong80 mktextfm: Could not map typeface abbreviation bs for gbsong80. mktextfm: Need to update c:/WinApp/TeXLive/texmf-dist/fonts/map/fontname/special .map? mktextfm: Running mf "\mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input gbsong80" This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2c 7.5.5) kpathsea: Running mktexmf gbsong80 mktexmf: empty or non-existent rootfile! ! I can't find file `gbsong80'. <*> ...ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input gbsong80 Please type another input file name ! Emergency stop. <*> ...ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input gbsong80 Transcript written on mfput.log. mktextfm: warning: can't open log file gbsong80.log. mktextfm: `mf "\mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input gbsong80"' failed. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ! Font \unicodefont=gbsong80 at 24.88806pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. --- cut --- I cannot figure out why it wants "gbsong80" when the encoding vector set starts from the 0x81 offset. Maybe some error in the UTF mapping? 2) \usemodule[chinese] \enableregime[utf] No error, but not output! The PDF contains only black squares instead of glyphs. The log shows that no fonts were used at all! -Richard _____ From: Xiao Jianfeng [mailto:fdu.xiaojf@gmail.com] To: mailing list for ConTeXt users [mailto:ntg-context@ntg.nl] Sent: Fri, 09 Dec 2005 15:24:22 +0100 Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Chinese Tobias Burnus wrote:

What would be needed to get UTF-8 input running with Chinese?
If you use vim to edit your tex file, maybe you can try "set encoding=utf8", then save and compile. As far as I know, GBK is compatible with unicode.
No, that does not work - that is the reason I started this mail thread. You get the wrong characters and you may get some TeX errors. (And that is the reason Lutz wrote a UTF-8 to GBK converted.)

What is the value of your environment variables about LC_CTYPE and LANG ? _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
