Hi luigi Actually, my module should not be called as "module," it's just an extension to Hans' Chinese module. My module only defined some macros to handle some strange needs of Chinese traditional book style. Hans' "\startvertical . . . \stopvertical" pair couldn't typeset that style very well, so I \setupunicodefont[chinese] to change its command option and define my own commands to handle chinese glyphs to avoid conflictions. I really hope Hans could add my module as a third part module in case some Chinese guys could typeset nice traditional Chinese books. Before that, I will cleasing some rubbish---actually, a lot---of my module. What else should I do? On 4/27/07, luigi scarso wrote:

I hope somebody who is interested in Chinese could help me to release my module. My 2 cents

Hi Chen, can you put your module on your webspace with a few comments about what is not perfect, can be done better ... I don't know if I have time than to look into the code but it would be nice to see what happende since December and it is also a box lesson for users. Wolfgang

Hi Luigi, he used the Truetype fonts from cwTeX, a chinese TeX version. You can download the fonts from [1]. There is also a nice manual on the cwTeX Homepage [2], my problem is I cannot understand anything. Can you say a little bit about you chinese font package before I have to download the zip file. [1] http://cle.linux.org.tw/fonts/cwttf/ [2] http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~ntut019/cwtex/cwtex.html Wolfgang

Hi everybody, Sorry for replying so late. I'm in a different time zone. I just get up and after sending this mail, I'll take about 2 hours to office. Yes, I use cwTeX fonts which are claimed under GPL. These fonts are first made in Type 1 format and then converted to truetype format. Maybe it's too big, so when embedding ttf fonts into pdf, the process is very very slow. So, I download both ttf and type1 format fonts, and use Hans' ttf2uni.rbscript on the ttf files and get the tfm, enc, afm and map files, and I changed the map files to use type1 files. Then it's much more faster. I think I could upload all the files except type1 fonts to my web site (the fonts are too big, google page seems only have 100MB at most). Hi Wolfgang, after I've disappeared for a century, I rewrite the module because I could not use Hans' module to handle inter-text postils. I've learned a lot from you.

Can you say a little bit about you chinese font package before I have to download the zip file. Sorry i'm a bit in a hurry. Please search for "Lutz" in context mailing list (eg gmane.comp.tex.context at http://www.gmane.com)

Hi, Patrick I've packed the fonts (although they can be downloaded somewhere, but it's too big so I've deleted many unnecessary files) and support files, it's about 53.6M. I have tried to upload to my google page, but it failed for like 1000 times. I'll see if I can find an FTP to save it temporary. On 4/28/07, Patrick Gundlach wrote:

If you tell me a location of the fonts on the web (and send me your additional files), we could put it on contextgarden.
