Yes. I google "\begin{CJK}{GBK}", the first link uses \begin{CJK}{UTF8}{hei} 你好! \end{CJK} The second link uses \begin{CJK*}{GBK}{song} I tried before and \begin{CJK}{GBK}{} did not compile for my particular installation. If LyX can not know in advance which fonts are available, the font part must at least be configurable. Cheers, Bo
