mixed Chinese/English and text-align="justify"
Hi there, just wondering if anybody has any experience/tips in getting full
justification to work automagically for mixed Chinese/English paragraphs?
Most Chinese glyphs are fixed width, so that's easy, but even in a
monospaced font (eg NSimSun), the English glyphs are narrower.
I've attached below the FO I've been playing with.
thanks .. Jason

W3C WD "Requirements for Chinese Text Layout" of 1 November 2020 at
https://www.w3.org/TR/clreq/ appears to be a comprehensive guide
See
https://www.w3.org/TR/clreq/#mixed_text_composition_in_horizontal_writing_mode
"there is tracking or spacing between an adjacent Han character and a
Western character of up to one quarter of a Han character width, except at
the line start or end."
https://www.w3.org/TR/clreq/#handling_western_text_in_chinese_text_using_proportional_western_fonts
includes: Justified text alignment is an important feature of Chinese
composition. It is harder to align text as expected when a line contains
Western characters. Typically, spacing or tracking is applied equally
across the line, but such adjustments are only applied between Han
characters or between Han and Western letters. The spacing is not equally
distributed between characters in Western words and/or European numerals.
Then there is stuff about Grid Alignment, together with the note: Grid
alignment is adopted more often in Traditional Chinese typesetting, whereas
use in Simplified Chinese is rare.

mixed Chinese/English text overwritten
Posted by jh...@gmail.com.
There's also an issue with letter-spacing between Chinese and English,
which causes the following English letter to "overwrite" the last Chinese
glyph. Maybe its the same underlying problem as the "full justification"
one in my quoted email below?
My test fo is below. Is there a fop dev who would be interested in fixing
these issues on a fee for service basis?
thanks .. Jason
