[oXygen-user] chinese characters in an english file

[Adrian Buza]

Hello,

Oxygen uses Java logical fonts that have the ability to display 
platform-wide character sets. On the other hand PDF only has 
built-support for certain physical fonts that don't cover character sets 
from some languages. Additional fonts must be embedded and used in the 
PDF to resolve this.

See the guide from the manual to understand what must be done:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-authorEclipse/tasks/add-font-to-builtin-FOP-simplified.html

For this to work with Apache FOP you need to have a FOP configuration 
file that is configured to pick up the appropriate fonts.
Starting with v12.0 Oxygen has a preset configuration file that already 
does this: ${oxygenInstallDir}/lib/fop-config.xml
If you're using an older version of Oxygen you need to create this file 
as described in the link above. Then you have to set file in Options 
->Preferences -> XML -> XSLT-FO-XQuery -> FO Processors, Configuration file.

For DocBook you need to edit the transformation scenario(Document -> 
Transformation -> Configure Transformation Scenario, Edit), in the XSLT 
tab press the Parameters button and look for the parameters: 
body.font.family and title.font.family. You need to set these parameter 
values to a font name that covers all the character sets that you need.
e.g.
in Windows: MS Gothic or Arial Unicode MS
on the Mac: Arial Unicode MS


BTW, on what platform are you using Oxygen(Windows, Mac, Linux)?

Regards,
Adrian
