Dear Hans and other friends:
I am a Chinese user of ConTeXt. Recently, I tried ConTeXt MkIV and
test its Chinese typesetting. I am very glad to see MkIV can access
my linux OS TTF&OTF fonts and give a good face of my article about
lines breaking. But on the bilingual typesetting, such as Chinese
sentences and English words appearance in a article at the same time ,
I found there are no good methods to solve the problem of setting
fonts for them respectively. Now I had to handle it in this way:
%%%%
\definefontfeature[chinese]
[mode=node,script=hang,lang=zhs]
\definefontsynonym[songti]
[name:simsun]
[features=chinese]
\definefontsynonym[Serif][songti]
\definetypeface[song][rm][serif][songti]
\setupbodyfont[song,12pt,rm]
\font\enfont=name:msyh
\def\en#1{%
\,\bgroup\enfont #1\egroup\,%
}
\starttext
我用英文进行\en{Hello World}测试。
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%
I am eager to see full support for chinese and other Asian languages
in ConTeXt MkIV.
I am grateful to the developers. Thank you for your time and effort
for continuous contributions!
