Hello,
some remarks/errors of the current UTF-8 Chinese support in ConTeXt
2005.12.19:
(For (a) to (c) see also attached file.)
a) unic-chi.tex: This contains the unicode vectors for which a Chinese
font will be used; currently it only covers
\dostepwiserecurse{40}{159}{1}{\defineunicodecommand #1 {\uchar}}
but this it misses the U+FFxx characters (fullwidth latin characters,
e.g. '?' which is as wide as a Chinese character)
=> solution: Add
\defineunicodecommand 255 {\uchar}
b) Labels: lang-chi.tex contains:
\setuplabeltext [\s!cn] [\v!figure={\cnencoding\cnencodedfigure}]
\startencoding[uni-c]
\definecommand cnencodedfigure {\uchar{86}{254}}
but if I use (with UTF-8) \placefigure{}{} the figure character is not
shown; however if I setup this directly, i.e.
\setuplabeltext[cn][figure={\uchar{86}{254}}]
, the character is shown just fine.
c) Doing font switching using \SimKaiTi seems to convert back to GBK,
can we have Unicode by default (at least when UTF-8 encoding is used)?
Examples for (a) to (c) see attachment (UTF-8 encoded).

Wish for the native speakers: Please translate
- Graphics/Illustration and Intermezzo(s)
Question to native speakers:
- \c!date={\v!month,\ ,\v!day,{,\ },\v!year},
Is this really the default? Or should this be
year年month月day日?

Another questions:
a) How to typset from top-to-bottom right-to-left using column(sets)?
In mchinese.pdf, Hans wrote:
"
6.4 Vertical typesetting
In Taiwan and HongKong, a large deal of Chinese is typeset vertical.
ConTEXt support
this mode by implementing on top of the multicolumn
routines.
"
Hope this helps.
b) How to change the numberformat used?
Tobias
