It is designed specifically for the professional oriental language typesetting community. In CTeX, oriental languages are not longer the ``foreign languages'' in the TeX community. All features of the existing TeX and its DVI drivers are extended to the oriental languages. In addition, CTeX provides the following unique features for the professional document production: o supporting multiple oriental languages and coding schemes ( up to 128 ) in a single document. o supporting a large number of oriental fonts up to 128. An oriental font is a font of thousands characters. For instance, GB Kai Ti is taken as one font of 6,763 chars. o supporting both outline and bitmap fonts. The outline font manager of CTeX is just much faster than any other font managers. For instance, on a 486/33MHz PC, it generates 17 distinct characters per second. o supporting user defined bitmap symbols. The Quick Bitmap Interface, as a standard component of CTeX, lets you generate bitmap symbols in one step. o spliting your printer files. You not longer need to worry about the printer errors due to your extensive use of fonts, and you not longer need to split your TeX files because of the limited font capacity of your printer. 2.
