[XeTeX] Ruby Annotation using XeTex? (and the convert problem)

[Pektiong Tân]

Hi JK,

It works! I think there is room for further improvement but it is  
enough for me for now.

Now I have encounter another problem, I would like to convert the PDF  
generated by xetex (CJK+Latin) into PNG or BMP,
so I tried "convert" on my Mac OS X. It gives me some error message  
and fails to generate PNG file. I have tried to use
convert to convert other PDF generated by the latex I have on my Mac  
and it works. Attached is the error message, I would like
to know if there is a way to fix this or I should use other program  
to convert PDF into PNG.

Cheers
