Classically any Chinese character has exactly the same width, which is the same as the height (square). Nowadays some are taller than wide. I'm quite certain that there is hardly any Chinese font with kerning as this would break the grid. Thinking aloud, you'd probably want to include some language-switching commands, to mediate between the calling of unicode fonts for un-named CJK glyphs (just raw conversion from Unicode to font switch + glyph number) to named roman (and other alphabetic) glyphs (conversion from UTF-8 to named glyphs to font+glyph, which retains kerning where it can). Well, I think one uses most of the time different fonts for Chinese and non-CJK texts as many Chinese fonts don't include that many roman letters (at least the ones quoted at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chinese miss the ß and ä). if there is a utf-8 mapping for chinese, then th eother chars can come from the main text font Hans ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Installing cont-fnt as Hans suggested didn't have any influence at all. The problem is caused by the (no longer valid) Palatino => uplXXX mapping in type-dis.tex (current distributions only ship the URW metrics under the Adobe name, not using the URW naming). Those mappings will go away soon, and then this will be no longer a problem. It may be that MikTeX is a bit "old" (27.10.), but there is no newer version available yet, so I hope that the problem will go away with the next version. Yes, the problem will go away. It was fixed in the 2005.11.24 or so. Cheers, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Context and Reftex
All, I assume that reftex does not work with context? Correct? Is there a management system for references in Context that is similar to Reftex? David ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
