Hi Zdenek, Thank you for your suggestions. On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 2:53 PM, Zdenek Wagner <zdenek.wag...@gmail.com> wrote: > you can just use tr, ... if you supply the map.
I don't know what "tr" is, but this comes back to one of my original problems; and that is, I don't have a map. Does anyone know of a publicly available map? Such a map very likely exists. For example, Google Translate can translate from traditional to simplified. But even if they use a map for this service, that map may be proprietary. > If you wish to do it on the fly in XeTeX, you can write a TECkit map. > Having the TECkit map you can also run txtconv from the command line. I like these solutions. However, again, I would still need a map. SIL has a collection of maps available here: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&cat_id=ConversionMaps But I didn't see a Chinese traditional-->simplified character map.
