I am now in Taiwan studying chinese and wonder what sw is used to put the pronounciation symbols (bo-po-mo-fo) in vertical script on the right side of a chinese character. I know that the CKJ-package in LaTeX has rubies, but they are on the top

If you use CJK-LaTeX for vertical writing, the rubies are on the right side.

and also don't contain tone symbols.

You can write anything you like into the rubies in CJK-LaTeX.

Any ideas anyone? Of course GPL sw is preferred.

I think CJK-LaTeX is OK for that purpose.

Have a look at the Japanese example file: /usr/share/doc/packages/cjk-latex/examples/UTF8-oku-no-hosomichi.tex it shows ruby with vertical writing. You can do the same in Chinese. -- Mike Fabian http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
