Hi all, with the context from 03.02.06 only the punctuation symbols from the unicode range 30 will be printed. The symbols from the range FF (f.i. FF0C: FULLWITH COMMA, FF1A: FULLWITH COLON...) and from the range 20 (203B: REFERENCE MARK...) are printed as small black squares. If i convert the file to gbk all symbols will be printed right. If needed i can prepare testfiles in gbk and utf encoding. Greetings Lutz
Hello Lutz, I have no problems typesetting Chinese and Japanese in Unicode. I suppose there's a problem with fonts on your system... Were all of the TFM files created properly? Do all the files uni-htsong-ff.tfm, uni-htfs-ff.tfm, uni-hthei-ff.tfm and uni-htkai-ff.tfm exist on your system? Are there some interesting messages in the log? In any casy, feel free to send me any of your test file... ;-) -Richard _____ From: Lutz Haseloff [mailto:Lutz.Haseloff@blb.brandenburg.de] To: "Mailingliste Context (E-Mail)" [mailto:ntg-context@ntg.nl] Sent: Tue, 07 Feb 2006 07:31:29 +0100 Subject: [NTG-context] chinese with utf in context Hi all, with the context from 03.02.06 only the punctuation symbols from the unicode range 30 will be printed.

I'm sorry I have the same problem as Lutz with the special punctuation - I only haven't noticed this problem before because there weren't these characters in any of my testing documents... :-( I'm going to investigate more... -Richard _____ From: Richard Gabriel [mailto:rgabriel@kerio.com] To: Lutz.Haseloff@blb.brandenburg.de, mailing list for ConTeXt users [mailto:ntg-context@ntg.nl] Sent: Tue, 07 Feb 2006 08:16:18 +0100 Subject: Re: [NTG-context] chinese with utf in context Hello Lutz, I have no problems typesetting Chinese and Japanese in Unicode.

Hi Lutz,

Try the following (untested): Add the line \defineunicodecommand 255 {\lookaheaduchar} to unic-cjk.tex. (Maybe you need to regenerate the format file.)
Tobias
Hi Tobias, Thank you very much for your help. I added: \defineunicodecommand 255 {\lookaheaduchar} \defineunicodecommand 32 {\lookaheaduchar} \defineunicodecommand 37 {\lookaheaduchar} \defineunicodecommand 38 {\lookaheaduchar} to unic-cjk.tex and all works now as expected. Thanks again Lutz

why these numbers?

255 = U+FF are the so-called Fullwidth Latin Characters (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UFF00.pdf) they are "A" "B" "C" etc. but having the width of a Chinese character (roughly "A ", "B ", "C "). Since they look rather ugly in non-CJK texts and they have to match the width of the Chinese characters in the font, they are only in CJK fonts. 32 = U+20 are general punctuation. I don't see a reason for those. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf 37 = U+25 are box drawing characters - no idea why those should be included. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2500.pdf 38 = U+26 are miscanllaneous symbols - no idea why those should be included. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2600.pdf Tobias

For fast input of chinese characters i use "NJSTAR Chinese Wordprocessor". It has a menu entry "Symbols Input" -> "Punctuation". Thats why i thought all these symbols can appear in chinese texts. The only necessary entry is the entry for 255. Greetings and thanks again Lutz
