[NTG-context] Re: How to Define a New Language

[Jean-Pierre Delange <adeimantos@free.fr>]

Hi Muyik !

The first thing to check, even if it seems stupid, is to make sure that 
the Traditional Chinese fonts are installed in the 
/context/context-mf/fonts/ etc. folder and test this installation with 
the following command:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="Chinese Font" --all (indicate 
actual font name)

Don't forget the following commands to purge the font cache and restore 
the database:

1. mtxrun --script cache --erase && mtxrun --generate

2. mtxrun --script fonts --reload
Then : 3. mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="Chinese Font" --all

Normally, the system should support the desired font after these checks. 
For my part, I have no problem with Traditional Chinese or Simplified 
Chinese fonts, but I haven't checked with OSX ...

I hope these few suggestions will help.
