Can use I use unicode with ptex or > should i convert it to jis or euc? Steve can probably tell you more than you want to know on this topic, but since I happened to be here, the short answer is, no, you can't use Unicode with pTeX. TeX was invented long before Unicode, and of course it's a huge package so it would be a mammoth undertaking to internationalize it after the fact. There is a project called Omega which is a Unicode-based reimplementation of TeX, but it doesn't really do CJKV yet--its development is going quite slowly (or not at all?) and the developers seem to be mainly interested in Arabic. So you have to convert. I think if it were me, and I had a lot of Unicode documents to process, I would write a preprocessing script that would convert the document to a Japanese encoding, then invoke pTeX on the output. Should be easy in (at least) Python or Perl. Hope this helps. -- Matt Gushee Englewood, CO, USA
