You are supposed to try a *bit* harder. The Unicode consortium http://www.unicode.org is responsible for allocating character codes. The have a sort of character names index online http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html You'll have to search this, or by The Unicode Book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201616335/ and look up character codes which you need. I don't speak chinese, nor do I have any chinese fonts on my computer, I can't help you any further on this particular problem. Once you know which Unicode codepoints you are going to use, locate a font. Look into you Windows Font directory, or, better, use the character table utility. The character table utility will tell you for the selected fonts whether it is a unicode font, and if so, you can pick a character and get the Unicode code point. After you've located a font, check with the font directory to get the windows file name. It should be a TrueType font file ending in .ttf. Follow the instructions in docs/html-docs/fonts.html to generate a font metrics file and register the font with FOP. You'll have to do this yourself. Prepare a FO document with some characters you think should be chinese script, and run it through FOP. It is possible that you are required to explicitely select the font with the proper glyphs. If you see sharp signs ('#') where you expect the chinese script to be this means you've screwed up somewhere.
