  José,

Thanks very much for the information. To accommodate Chinese
characters in the document seems to be more involved than I originally
expected -- I was thinking this achieved by invoking a package or sort
alike.
I don't need either the vertical, or the right-to-left typesetting,
just the ability to compile Chinese characters ... :-|
