Hi Alex,
I know XEP currently not support double byte characters.
But I just try to do some post-processing of XEP postscript output to
fulfull our need.
I am trying another way as a workaround.
Let the chinese characters I tested before pretend to be an ascii string,
and I encode the string in xml as follows:
<fo:block>¤j¤p³q¦Y</fo:block>
but the postscript output is as follows:
(\000¤\000j\000¤\000p\000³\000q\000¦\000Y)
Every characters have a prefix character \000.
If I removed all the \000 characters from the above string,
the result matched the previous encoded string in XML.
How could you prevent the \000 characters output as above?
I wish my questions won't bother you too much.
Pierre So

Hello Pierre,
Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my previous letter, two byte
encodings are not supported in XEP PostScript output yet. Please
follow the announcements.
Best regards,

Phc> Hello,
Phc> Thanks for your helpful support!
Phc> I found the problem of chinese output in pdf was solved.
Phc> I downloaded the asia font pack for acrobat reader in www.adobe.com,
Phc> and I choose using the open type font MSungStd-Light-Acro defined in
Phc> fonts.xml.
Phc> I found it's fine since the rendering speed was as normal and also the
pdf
Phc> size was small.
Phc> But I still want to handle the chinese output for postscript.
Phc> Because our postscript printer has some residential chinese fonts,
Phc> I tried to use the same approach as the pdf one to generate a
postscript
Phc> file
Phc> and then patch postscript file to replace the MSungStd-Light-Acro font
name
Phc> with the printer's chinese font name.
Phc> But problem arised, I found the postscript file's chinese characters
was
Phc> different from the original .fo file one.
Phc> I tried to put four chinese characters for test, i.e. ???? (in hex:
A46A
Phc> A470 B371 A659) which is in Big-5 encoding,
Phc> Our printer's internal chinese font also use Big-5 encoding,
Phc> but the characters in postscript file become "Y'\\\017 032T\003" (the
Phc> middle two spaces are two nonprintable characters 90 5C in hex).
Phc> Could I have any way to force the XEP not alter the chinese characters
in
Phc> the postscript output?

Phc> Hello Pierre,
Phc> It looks like a problem with font embedding. What kind of font are you
