Jonathan, Herb,

Thanks so much for all the information. I was soooooooooooooo happy
when I saw the first time in my life a locally generated (Xe)LaTeX
document with Chinese characters showing up in front of me ... :-)

The following is for the archive, so someone in the future only has to
read one email:

To typeset documents with Chinese characters, installed XeLaTex from
Jonathan's i-directory from i-installer (it's also contained in MacTeX
2005), and put the following two lines at the beginning of your
document:

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

That's it. :-)
