This seems to be about inter-word spacing, rather than character sets. For the phrase: "据我所知，中国人将typography写作排版"
The intuitive operation for ConTeXt should be to preserve the explict space after the comma, but the word "typography" is not seperated from the rest of the text with spaces. If you input the text as "据我所知，中国人将 typography 写作排版" Then the spaces should be preserved as in English or other languages. This was not the case once for Japanese, but a (temporary?) fix was put into the ongoing development version, I believe. The space removal was due to the fact that Chinese and Japanese do not use space between words in normal text. For now can you use the ~ or some like escape sequence to force a space where you want it? -------- Tim Li <timli2...@outlook.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Is there a way in ConTeXt to distinguish (or recognise) different > characters from different languages, especially distinguishing those > used in China, Japan and Korea (CJK) from English. > > For example, sentence(1) and its translation (sentence (2)) below are > mixed English with Chinese characters, > > as far as I know, Chinese write 排版 as typography.
