unicode
Import this package at the beginning of the file to instruct
LaTeX
to accept unicode
(UTF-8) standardized international
characters. You will also need to set up LaTeX
support for
unicode
by unpacking in your LaTeX
source directory
(e.g. /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex
) the file
http://www.unruh.de/DniQ/latex/unicode/unicode.tgz
and then running the command
texhash
To use Cyrillic fonts, you will need to change the font encoding:
import unicode; texpreamble("\usepackage{mathtext}\usepackage[russian]{babel}"); defaultpen(font("T2A","cmr"));
Support for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts is provided by the CJK package:
http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/languages/chinese/CJK/The following commands enable the CJK song family (within a label, you can also temporarily switch to another family, say kai, by prepending
"\CJKfamily{kai}"
to the label string):
texpreamble("\usepackage{CJK} \AtBeginDocument{\begin{CJK*}{GBK}{song}} \AtEndDocument{\clearpage\end{CJK*}}");
