[xep-support] Does XEP support Chinese characters?

[PIERRES at hthk.com]

Hello,

Thanks for your helpful support!

I found the problem of chinese output in pdf was solved.
I downloaded the asia font pack for acrobat reader in www.adobe.com,
and I choose using the open type font MSungStd-Light-Acro defined in
fonts.xml.
I found it's fine since the rendering speed was as normal and also the pdf
size was small.

But I still want to handle the chinese output for postscript.
Because our postscript printer has some residential chinese fonts,
I tried to use the same approach as the pdf one to generate a postscript
file
and then patch postscript file to replace the MSungStd-Light-Acro font name
with the printer's chinese font name.
But problem arised, I found the postscript file's chinese characters was
different from the original .fo file one.
I tried to put four chinese characters for test, i.e. ???? (in hex: A46A
A470 B371 A659) which is in Big-5 encoding,
Our printer's internal chinese font also use Big-5 encoding, 
but the characters in postscript file become "Y'\\\017  032T\003" (the
middle two spaces are two nonprintable characters 90 5C in hex).

Could I have any way to force the XEP not alter the chinese characters in
the postscript output?

Hello Pierre,

It looks like a problem with font embedding. What kind of font are you
using? Could you send me an except from your fonts.xml file related to this
font? (you may send the whole file)
