Chinese Number Problem

Chinese Number Problem

[Guo Yang]

Hello,

I am trying to set up ConTeXt to work properly with Chinese. Everything 
seemed fine until I discovered that there is some problem with the Chinese 
numbers. I have a TeX file with several chapters. I used texexec and 
dvipdfmx generated the PDF file without problems. But I found there are 
two things wrong (which supposed to be working). The first is that the two 
Chinese charaters before the list of contents (corresponding to the 
'Contents' before English text) are missing. The second, all the chinese 
characters before the chapter titles in the list of contents are missing 
(corresponding to the English text 1 or 1.1, etc.).

I tried to figure out what the problem is myself without success. I read
file font-chi.tex and found some commands like:

\def\chinesedigit#1#2% #2: suffix, here * or \empty
  {\udigit{\chineseencoding}{\number#1#2}}
\def\normalchinesenumber#1%
  {\expandafter\dochinesenumber\number#1\relax\empty}

I tried to use these commands in my file directly. But they didn't produce 
any output there, even no space left for the numbers inside {}.

I am using MikTeX under Windows XP. I am using the latest ConTeXt beta to 
get the dvipdfmx working. 

Your help will be appreciated greatly!

Guo

Are you use the same font name as  that in font-chi.tex? if not,
try edit font-chi.tex and change the font name as those used in 
your system instead of  using the \definefontsynonym in your
cont-usr.tex or cont-sys.tex may solve the problem.  It seems
use the \definefontsynonym to redefine the font name will cause
context ignore the encoding settings.

unless you define the encoding with it

Your suggestion sovled my problem too. Thank you very much!

I don't know if anybody mentioned it here or not, I did have a couple 
issues using texexec.pl and texutil.pl under cygwin enviroment.  For the 
texexec.pl case, it turned out that it caused by the different naming 
scheme for the path, i.e., '\' and '/'. So I added a conditional test in 
the RunPerlScript subrouting in texexec.pl to make it work in both cmd 
and cygwin. For texutil, I found that somehow it writes a '^M' in the 
middle of a comment line and leaves strange number in the list of 
contents page. So I commented these two lines out in texutil.tex and 
'sovled' the problem:

sub FlushFiles
 {print TUO "%\n" .  "% $Program / Files\n" . "%\n" ;
#  foreach $FILE (keys %Files)
#     { print TUO "% $File ($File{$File})\n" }

I am wondering these problem, if they are, can be corrected in the 
future release. Or if they are not, how to solve them without chaning 
the programs.  I understand that most of people using integrated 
enviroment. But I believe there are still some people like using command 
line :))

Thanks,
Guo

I don't understand this since it's just a message you comment. What is the 
error message?

maybe fabrice (windows path expert) know what is goidn on

Re: Chinese Number Problem

[Guo Yang]

The first one is just gone suddenly without the change.  Originally it 
had such error message:

Can't open perl script "C:texmfcontextperltktexexec.pl": No such file or 
directory. (All '\'s in the path
were striped away)

Anyway, I am very glad it just disappeared.

For the second one, it demonstrates itself as one or several '(2)' (for 
the files I tested, only text in them, no pictures) before or after the 
list of contents page in both the dvi files or pdf files. I found that 
in the .tuo file produced by texutil.pl, there was an extra ^M (one 
charater)  in this line:

   % TeXUtil 7.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2002 / Files
->% chap^M (2)

, which caused the problem. But I couldn't figure out where this ^M came 
from. So I just commented the two lines produce these comments out and 
made annoying numbers gone.

maybe a

   dos2unix texutil.pl

helps
