Traditional Chinese


We provide language and cultural support for two encodings of Chinese, a simplified encoding for the Chinese mainland and a traditional encoding for Taiwan. The large number of characters in the Chinese language makes it impossible to arrange them on a keyboard. Therefore, an input method, called the input server, is used to make sequences of keyboard events that correspond to each Chinese character. The input server for WorldView(TM) Chinese is called xwnmo(1). It translates your input of phonetic symbols into the equivalent character or characters and provides a list of choices when there is any ambiguity.

Printing

To print a Chinese language text file to a PostScript compatible printer, use the following command:

% lpcns textfile | lp

where textfile is the name of your file. The lpcns program converts Chinese text to PostScript format. You can print directly from ieditor if your printer supports Chinese characters. If a printer that supports Chinese characters is not available, you may save the document as a text file in ieditor or Showcase before printing it with the lpcns command.
