Thanks Werner. It is a lot clearer with the pictures. - (a) "...very like english handwriting rule..." is completely mis-stated and rubbish. He is merely asking that the two horizontal "guiding" lines in the upper panel for pinyin be drawn at the baseline level and at x-height (of the specific font used) - the latter so that the diacritics are above the x-height line. Obvious that would make the positioning of those two lines font/typeface-dependent, and also make the 3 sections unequal in height in general. Presumably you can make it work well enough for Computer Modern Roman and make the three sections equal for one specific font, CMR. That should be good enough for him.
- (d) the red-circling in "book.jpg" is misleading. What he meant [I think] is the specific way the commas and periods is constructed in this particular font set. That's a mainland China tradition, of having the commas and periods at the lower left corner, instead of in the centre. It is font-dependent. I just checked the Arphic fonts, and they are correct for their intended uses - the two g* fonts have the the punctuations at the lower left corner while b* fonts have the punctuations centred. Which font is he using/are you doing examples on? I see your rubytest example uses bsmi, which has Taiwan-style punctuation positioning - that may be what he is (mistakenly) complaining about. P.S. I don't expect to be sent the images...(sigh...) contemporary Chinese are not very good at discussing their problems in public, nor appearing to be lacking or weak... --- On Sat, 31/12/11, Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know whether Feng has sent the images to you also, > but just to > be sure... > > > Werner > > --------------------------- Hello Werner I send you attachments for typesetting for primary students. alphabet; a) second.jpg is the PinYin alphabets typesetting rule. The rule very like english handwriting rule for three lines and four lines. the tone accent symbol occupy the up line. b) 4_3.png is a picture for new Chinese characters and PinYin which used by primary student now. c ) fore_six.jpg is printed 'tian zi ' format typesetting picture d ) new_character.jpg is the Chinese characters which have not use PinYin tone accent symbol. ( the tone accent symbol need the primary student to fill for the character ) d) books.jpg is the schoolbook picture. please notice the punctuation mark place. commonly the comma and Chinese period local Tian box left down part, and the up the Chinese character baseline.
