Re: Chinese in ConTeXt

Hi Jianfeng, Hi Hans,

because i had the same Problem some time ago i prepared
two PerlScripts for converting Unicode TrueType fonts
to suitable bunches of Type 1 fonts for use in ConTeXt
in big5 and gbk encoding.

I sent the scripts to Hans. He perhaps wanted to include
them into texexec.pl if possible. If you use Windows
or can use Windows i can send you the scripts.
(they work with a particular version of ttf2pfb.exe only)

B.t.w. for the use of the fonts described in font-chi.tex you
will need only some files you can download from
ftp.ctex.org. (If you like i can send you these files too)
