Hi, Yue, It's all about the mechanism how ConTeXt handle Chinese glyphs, it analyzes the around to check whether to insert spaces which I think is not a good idea. Try to put those Chinese characters in a box, like ======================================= \placetable[here][]{算通中的通風模式} \starttable[|c|c|c|] \NC \mbox{時間} \NC \mbox{通風模式} \NC \mbox{室內源} \NC\SR \HL \NC 0:00-8:00 \NC \mbox{自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$} \NC \mbox{無} \NC\FR \NC 8:00-18:00 \NC \mbox{機械通風 $n=5 \Per\Hour$} \NC \mbox{打印機每小時的起始十分鐘工作} \NC\MR \NC 18:00-24:00 \NC \mbox{自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$} \NC \mbox{無} \NC\LR \stoptable ======================================= 2008/2/26 Yue Wang : > Hi, > > I find that ConTeXt fails to typeset Chinese table right. > Here is the TeX source: > \enableregime[utf] > \usemodule[units] > \usemodule[chinese] > \starttext > \placetable[here][]{通風模式} > \starttable[|c|c|c|] > \NC 時間 \NC 通風模式 \NC 室內源 \NC\SR > \HL > \NC 0:00-8:00 \NC 自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 無 \NC\FR > \NC 8:00-18:00 \NC 機械通風 $n=5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 打印機每小時的起始十分鐘工作\NC\MR > \NC 18:00-24:00 \NC 自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 無 \NC\LR > \stoptable > \stoptext > > If everything in the table is English then ConTeXt typeset it right. > but in this table all the chinese are aligned left, not centered. > > Yue Wang > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to > the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.
