Description
This is work in progress !
I'm trying to document my progress and some facts (?) I found out so far. The goal is to enable as much of Unicode as we need to make our (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and whatever) examples work.
- To generate proper PDF files with arbitrary Unicode support (see above) the default usage of
latexdoes not work properly and will likely never work sufficiently. - I found two candidates as replacement of
latex
- XeTeX (command: xetex)
- LuaTeX (command: lualatex or luatex).
- XeTeX is easier to setup but does no longer get new LaTeX features.
- LuaTeX is its designed successor and recommended.
- It is very likely that additional fonts need to be installed on the system generating PDF docs although the HTML docs work w/o those fonts.
After trying XeTeX without success I switched to LuaTeX and I'm really making progress.
I'm not yet ready to post details (WIP) but the results look promising. I'll post more comments with further progress reports.
