chinese characters in an itemize environment

chinese characters in an itemize environment

[Lutz Haseloff]

Hi all,

If I use:

\startitemize[m,packed]
\item 三个小矮人 (some chinese characters)
\item Die drei Männlein im Walde
\stopitemize

I get more space between the number and the text in the
chinese line as in the latin line.
The difference is .3-.4em depending on the fonts.

How can I avoid this?

Greetings

Lutz

just guessing (but worth a try):

\setupitemgroups[inbetween=<any fixed dimen>]

The default is .5ex, which depends on the current font (see end of
core-itm.tex).

\setupitemgroups[inbetween=2cm]
doesn't work.

Iterestingly an inserted \mbox makes the "error" going away:

\startitemize[m,packed]
\item\mbox{}三个小矮人
\item\mbox{}Die drei Männlein im Walde
\stopitemize

Thats why i assume, this has to do with the chinese
characters, and not only with the different fonts.

It also works with \hbox{} or \null in front of the chinese text only.
So I guess you are right with your assumption, that it's a (chinese)
font specific problem. The additional indention of the chinese text is
only clearly visible, when you mix the languages.

Sorry, can't help you any further. BTW: is this the correct chinese
translation?

is there a cleaner way as to define something like
\def\myitem{\item\null} ?
