bug in typeset table in Chinese

[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.

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
=======================================
