A few weeks back, there was a short exchange on this list regarding utilities for preparing chinese fonts for ConTeXt. One of the postings provided a link to some new utilities. I've since downloaded the file there (gbkfonts-linux-0.2.tar.gz) but am unsure as to how to proceed. If anyone with experience in this area could provide some advice, I'd appreciate it.
i suggest that you contact:
Cho, Jin-Hwan < chofchof@ktug.or.kr> Lei Wang
they probably can help you out; the best way to solve these problems is to make sure that on the next tex-live the right resources / tools (font splitters and so) are distributed as well.
Well I got a chinese pdf easily enough with help from Michael Na Li and Lei Wang. It seems that a few people have had trouble with the tools referenced in mchinese.pdf , so would it help if I put together a short howto, at least for the simplified chinese true type fonts that I'm using? I think for novice users this might be helpful, as I would not have found the easy route that I did without pointers from Michael Na Li. Matt
