Hello Philip, what I meant for simplified Chinese as being easy is because of this: - it is also only written horizontally - no ruby characters (at least as I know) - uses arabic digits (e.g. 2010年)
Definitely not the last : I know of many instances of simplified Chinese that use pure Chinese number symbols (一二三四五六七八九十), and I have a hand- calligraphed scroll that uses simplified Chinese characters written vertically and from right to left. As far as Ruby goes, you may well be right : Ruby is certainly used in Taiwan, but of course TW still uses traditional characters so there is no counter- example there. ** Phil. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
