how to let context suppose chinese via utf-8 ?
Hi, evergyone I found a instruction in context wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chinese) in this page , it says: If you have Context 2005.12.19, you only have to get the fonts. 1.You need some Chinese (TrueType) fonts; you may want to get FangSong, HeiTi, KaiTi and SongTi. Put those e.g. into $TEXMF/fonts/truetype/chinese/. -----------finished 2.Use Hans Hagen's experimental ttf2uni.rb script to create .map, .tfm and .enc files. You can then put the files e.g. to $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/chinese/ (*.tmf files), $TEXMF/fonts/enc/chinese/ (*.enc files, they are basically the same for all fonts) and to $TEXMF/fonts/map/chinese/. -----------wondering!!!! I have downloaded the file ttf2uni.rb to my local machine. But how can I creat such .map ,.tfm and .enc files via it? 3.You may now need to update the hash TeX uses to find the files; using teTeX this is done by running texhash. 4.How you can run your Hello World program: could anyone be kindly to offer me a list of detail instructions about how to do? thank you!

Must be understood as: [Someone has forgotten to delete this note.] If your ConTeXt is older than a month don't even try to ask questions about why something doesn't work ;)

I don't know anything about Chineese, but which platform and which distribution are you using? Because it might be far easier to get Chineese working with XeTeX than with pdfTeX. In that case you don't need dozens of those (soon-to-become-obsolete) .map, .tfm and .enc files. (and you don't need that ruby script) XeTeX is runnung on Mac OS X for quite some time now, on Linux since end of April and on Windows for some days or weeks (not officially released yet). If you have Mac you can use i-Installer for installing XeTeX, on Linux it might be easiest to use linuxtex.zip and justtex.zip from pragma-ade.com. If you're on Windows I can send you some instructions how to install it (you basically only need to copy binaries and configuration files from xetex-w32.tar.bz to the proper place in the TeX tree), but I guess that XeTeX could (will?) be included in the standalone ConTeXt distribution without much trouble. In that case the whole story reduces to installing the fonts to your system (you probably already have them installed) and: texexec --xtx --make --all fc-cache -v -f and the Hello-world example being just something like % typescripts should be used here, but for hello-world this should suffice \font\MyFont="Arial Unicode MS" % or name of some other font that you want to use \MyFont \starttext your-chineese-text \stoptext texexec --xtx yourfile Mojca

4.How you can run your Hello World program:
(1) make sure that you have the fonts (2) \usemodule[chinese] % or chi-00 or .. (3) \enableregime[utf] and things should work ... no need to use conversions Tobias may be able to provide more help Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
The first time I've been categorized as a spammer because I cited your name, so I deleted the Chineese part of the message this time:
