TeX Live and MacTeX ⇒ latex erroro with cjk-utf8

[gosha]

Hello everyone!
I'm new here and fairly new to latex too.
For the little I did until new everything went very smooth, but I need to write and print multilanguage text containig also chinese characters.
I'm running OpenBSD 4.3 and I installed the full texlive package, but when I run latex on a file with chinese characters it gives me the errors below, althought the fonts seem to be there.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance
Here is the error I get:

Problem solved!
Thank you anyway

I guess the solution would be interesting for all of us.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Yes, of course, sorry I did not post it right away.
It seems I was missing a lot of things in the preample, I had tried with some examples found with google, but they would give those errors. For some reason, the examples of the cjk latex package don't seem to be installed with the openbsd package. I downloaded cjk-4.8.1.tar.gz and looked at the examples provided by Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>.
For example:

Code: Select all

cat CJKutf8.tex
% This is the file CJKutf8.tex of the CJK package
%   for testing the CJKutf8 style file.
%
% written by Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
%
% Version 4.8.1 (10-Aug-2008)

% Vietnamese support for Babel comes with the VnTeX package.

% Read CJKutf8.txt for more details.

If you have a full texlive distribution you should be able to produce a dvi file displaying correctly all the scripts.
In my own file I added this preamble (in this file I only need Italian and Chinese simplified):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage[overlap, CJK]{ruby}
\usepackage{CJKulem}

\renewcommand{\rubysep}{-0.2ex}

\newenvironment{SChinese}{%
  \CJKfamily{gbsn}%
  \CJKtilde
  \CJKnospace}{}
\begin{document}

\parskip 3ex
\parindent 0pt

\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}
\begin{SChinese}

when you finish with the text of course you have to add:

Code: Select all

\end{SChinese}
\end{CJK}
\end{document}

There is only one little problem, but I don't know if it can be solved:
the examples that come with the distribution, all show one language per paragraph. But I need to write different languages in the same paragraph. Usually, if it's only english alphabet characters, the chinese environment will properly handle the distance from the ending western word and the chinese characters (chinese characters don't have spaces between them), but if the ending or starting letter is, for instance, an à (a with an accent) or similar, the chinese environment will not put a space and the letter will be to close to the chinese character, so it will look ugly. One solution I tried which works is to insert a space manually in the tex file:

Code: Select all

\ 

(escape characher plus a space). Of course, you can begin and end a language for every single phrase in different languages inside the same paragraph. If you have a lot of different words, it might be quite a bit of typing. I don't know if there's a way to let latex handle this problem automatically with some lines in the preamble. But I doubt it, and actually I'm quite happy already with the present solution.

Hope it will be of some help for someone, if you have any suggestions please share.
