Setting up CJK Latex for UTF8
Hello m17n, I have the CJK package installed, and it works fine with emacs. But now I wanted to use the UTF8 encoding, because it is more readable then the files emacs produce. But I cant get it running. I tried all the UTF8 examples from CJK and always the same result: font T1/song/m/n/10/cyberb00 at 12.0pts (or any other font) not loadable: Metric tfm file not found I worked with kile as latex editor (dont think that is the problem ;) Any suggestions how I can fix this? -- Best regards, bruce_np mailto:bruce_np@sbox.tugraz.at

The example you are trying to use apparently needs the Bitstream
Cyberbit font cyberbit.ttf because it contains something like:
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{song}
(See also the last section of
/usr/share/doc/packages/cjk-latex/README.SuSE).
The Bitstream Cyberbit font is a commercial, non-free font. It used
to be downloadable for personal use from Bitstream, but Bitstream has
discontinued it. See also:
http://www.bitstream.com/categories/support/other_support/cyberbit_main.html
If you still have the font, this example file will work if you just
copy the font to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/cyberbit.ttf and
run
SuSEconfig --module cjk-latex
But if you don't absolutely need a font covering most of Unicode 2.0
to use CJK-LaTeX in UTF-8. You can just as well use different fonts
for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Actually using different fonts for
these languages will give much better results.
Have a look at the example file
/usr/share/doc/packages/cjk-latex/examples/UTF8-free-cjk-tt-fonts.tex
This file demonstrates the use of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean in one
.tex file in UTF-8 using different fonts for each language. All fonts
used in that example file are free and available as .rpm packages on
SuSE Linux 8.1.

It took me some time to find the right fonts (including cyberbit ;) But now everything is running perfectly! I tried out all UTF8 examples, and they worked fine. It seems that CJK-latex with Unicode will be my first choice from now on ;) -- Best regards, bruce_np mailto:bruce_np@sbox.tugraz.at
