Re: [NTG-context] Traditional Chinese Typesetting (almost complete)
Hi Patrick, I've uploaded the fonts to the CTeX ftp: ftp://ftp.ctex.org/pub/tex/fonts/cwTeX and I've sent my module to Wolfgang to see if he has any suggestions. If any of you feel interested in my module, I will put my module on my website although it's still not perfect.

Re: [NTG-context] Traditional Chinese Typesetting (almost complete)
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.

Re: [NTG-context] Traditional Chinese Typesetting (almost complete)
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.

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.

A module need not be big. Even small code, which is not trivial and will be frequently used should be released as a module. See http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/m-narrowtt.tex Surely, you module will have more lines of code :) > I really hope Hans could add my module as a third part module in case some > Chinese guys could typeset nice traditional Chinese books. I can not understand a word of chinese, but the output looks beautiful. After you have cleaned up the code, release it on modules.contextgarden.net and add a page on the wiki about chinese (if there is one), so that the new users can find the module more easily. > Before that, I will cleasing some rubbish---actually, a lot---of my module. > What else should I do? Add some documentation, both for the user interface and explaining your code. The documentation can be written as comments starting with %D and can be processed using texexec --module filename.

Re: [NTG-context] Traditional Chinese Typesetting (almost complete)
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?
