How wide is a Chinese character in constant-width fonts?

Chinese Text Processing FAQ0.1
Marked-up text is usually displayed in constant-width fonts. Line length calculations are based on this. In order to figure out line-wrap positions with Chinese data, you either have to allow indent + ( linelength - indent )/2 characters per line. This works OK if the data is all Chinese. If the data is mixed Chinese and ASCII (as it often is in marked-up text) then you should increment the linelength counter by 2 when you get a Chinese character.

What GB (Chinese) character sets does MySQL support?

Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions About MySQL 5.1
MySQL supports the two common variants of the GB (Guojia Biaozhun, or National Standard) character sets which are official in the People's Republic of China: gb2312 and gbk. Sometimes people try to insert gbk characters into gb2312, and it works most of the time because gbk is a superset of gb2312 - but eventually they try to insert a rarer Chinese character and it doesn't work. (See Bug#16072 for an example).

On a Macintosh with the Chinese Language Kit, what if some Chinese fonts are unavailable (greyed)?

Frequently Asked Questions about Wenlin
This problem occurred with Wenlin 2.0 on some versions of MacOS (due to undocumented changes made by Apple). It was fixed starting with Wenlin 2.1. If you are still using 2.0, you can download the latest update 2.x free of charge from www.wenlin.com/update.htm. The most frequent cause is a dirty CD-ROM. A bit of dust or a fingerprint can make a file on the CD-ROM unreadable. You can clean the disc by wiping it gently with a soft dry cloth.

Why aren't wide-character names supported? Why not std::wstring or even a templated type?

Boost Filesystem FAQ
Wide-character names would provide an illusion of portability where portability does not in fact exist. Behavior would be completely different on operating systems (Windows, for example) that support wide-character names, than on systems which don't (POSIX). Providing functionality that appears to provide portability but in fact delivers only implementation-defined behavior is highly undesirable.

How do I keep control of all of these fonts?

PAGEMAKER LISTSERV FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS LIST
The best answer is not to have "all of these fonts". One of the greatest mistakes a beginning DTPer makes is to use 20 different fonts on one small publication. The best thing to do is keep to a smaller number of fonts that serve your needs best. Plus, PageMaker's performance decreases dramatically with respect to the number of fonts installed in your system. Most publications look best when you use only two or so typefaces. Simpler is usually better when it comes to typefaces.
