There is unfortunately no way around this problem at present.
[footnote] It's not clear to me if a virtual unicode font situation
will work be feasible, although I think I was one of the people who
suggested it. The simple solution is to simply use a font that has
both Chinese and Roman characters.
You'd think after designing tens of thousands of ideographs, the
Chinese font designers would be able to knock together the measly
extended Latin alphabet :)
Good luck,
Will Robertson
[footnote]: something like Jonathan Fine's ActiveTeX could probably
do it by making all Latin characters and punctuation active, but I
don't want to think of the ramifications of what that would involve.
