Dear all,

ConTeXt has Big-5 Traditional Chinese build-in(thanks :), but I
can't let it work normally. Because of the `\' and `}' character
in Big-5 charset. For example, Big5-0xB35C(uni8A31), Big5-0xA55C
(uni529F) and Big5-0xB67D(uni958B).

I use ttf2pt1 to produce *.tfm, *.enc and *.map file for ConTeXt,
and use default Poorman's Chinese encoding, I can let the pdfetex
grasp TTF directly, but I don't know how to escape `\' and `}'.

My system,

Slackware Linux 8.1
teTeX-1.0.7
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.7) 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211
ConTeXt: TeXExec 3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003
I change font-chi.tex to use \TraChi default, and
change to my Arphic public font`bsmi00lp'.

I attach a simple test file(in Big-5 encoding).

Did I miss something? Thanks for the help.



Edward

See if the following modification on your test file works:
\setupoutput[pdftex] % for my system only
\usemodule[chinese]
\TraChi % for my system only
\starttext
¤¤¤å´ú¸Õ¡C

% When '\' or '}' is the second byte of a Big5 character, use
% \uchar{###}{###} to represent the character instead. For example,
% ³\¥\¶}¡C is represented as:
\uchar{179}{92}\uchar{165}{92}\uchar{182}{125}¡C

\stoptext

  Yes, it works, thanks.

  But is it possible to integrate into ConTeXt?
