If the document font size is 10pt, the width and height of a Chinese character is 10 pt. > What are your suggested substitutes for 'italic' and 'small caps'? > I.e., is there some distinctive property about the 'look and feel' of > a CJK font to make it suitable as an 'italic' or 'small caps' font? http://ustcscgy.github.io/images/fonts.png It's roman, italic, and bold above and "song", "kai", "hei" below. So, font "kai" for italic and font "hei" for small caps. Those fonts look like they have slightly different size, but they are all in the same size font box.

What they originally do in LaTeX: - define a minus glue on each side of symbol for every punctuation. When line break happens, cancel the right side of glue. - define kerning for pairs of punctuation symbols, when these two symbols are side by side, use kerning and cancel the glue between them. And there are a lot of other rules. The punctuation problem is more complicated than I originally thought: English punctuation symbols provided by Chinese fonts are total disaster. New problem, some punctuation symbols such as quote mark can not input, but can be pasted in. This problem also exists in 1.0.7.20. _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list Texmacs-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
