This is something I know is problematic. I agree it needs to be changed. What I need is working LaTex code to enable such combination. > As font family 'kai' is > not suitable for body text, I suggest change the body text's font to > uming, which is available in package ttf-arphic-uming. ttf-arphic-uming is good font but it has obnoxious default feature to force Chinese preference over Japanese one :-) The installation script put tweaking on fontconfig default. I know this situation is as obnoxous for Chinese if they see Japanese preference is chosen over Chinese one. So I understand why ttf-arphic-uming maintainer did this. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587319 What we need is a glue service package which helps organizing font preference depending on: * locale * font size * serif/san-serif, Mincho/Gothic, (song, ming)/(hei, gothic) http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch07.en.html#_cjk_fonts (OOps, table is broken...) This choice should be able to be done both as system and as user. Just like im-config. Then we can live together. Otherwise, we need to manage fontconfig directly during build time. Wait, this is true for X but I may be wrong since LaTeX is smart enough to chose font. It is just annynig for me to install ttf-arphic-uming on system but usually build is done in chroot. So this is not really problem. > If possible, > section and subsection's text should use wqy-microhei as in package > ttf-wqy-microhei. I need to know how to specify them in LaTeX. So here comes my *** help *** request and my action plan. 1. Please create a base LaTeX source using debiandoc2latex command. 2. Please manually edit it until you get the right result. 3. Send me both sources as gzip tar archive. 4. Let me fix debiandoc-sgml. Thanks Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
