No, not at all. This simply means that your Java[tm] runtime does not support the GBK charset, which means (to make it simple): * Java cannot load a text file using the GBK charset. * Java cannot save a text file using the GBK charset. This has nothing to do with the charset (also called encoding) used for your XML documents. This has nothing to do with the charset used for the documents (HTML, CHM, Java Help, PDF, RTF, etc) generated out of your XML documents. By default, the charset used by XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) for your XML documents is UTF-8 (this can be changed using Options|Options, Save section). UTF-8 can be used to encode *any* character, including chinese characters. --- PS: In fact, Java[tm] supports GBK (see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html), but you need to install a recent, full blown, Java 1.5.0 runtime for that. And during the Java[tm] install, please select *all* features. XMLmind's http://www.xmlmind.net/xmleditor/_download/xxe-std-3_5_0-setup.exe is bundled with latest, full-blown, Java 1.5.0 runtime (privately used by XXE).
