[XeTeX] A general suggetion for managing the font selection formixed-language document

[John Was]

The Chinese package looks excellent.  My computer (Windows XP) won't recognize the .bz2 files on the website.  How do I get at the contents (presumably a collection of .TEX or .STY files)?

Best

  Hi all,

  I agree that it's a better idea not to implement this feature in fontspec but in other packages, where the character class scheme may be totally redefined discarding the effort of fontspec. In fact, the package "zhspacing" for Chinese document spacing adjustment is almost ready for use now. You can find out more info on the BBS of USTC and SMTH in Chinese. The project homepage is http://code.google.com/p/zhspacing/. HTH.

  Regards.

    I'm happy to support the addition of such features to fontspec but I
    wonder if a new package would be a better idea (there's no reason
    this couldn't hook into the fontspec interface, though).

    There's additional stuff that falls into the category of this sort of
    feature that doesn't make so much sense in fontspec -- for example,
    tuning the spacing around punctuation. Perhaps the upcoming jspacing
    (?) package will do this sort of thing.

    Sadly I don't have time to work on this new interface but I
    definitely like the idea.

    Will
