I'm a graduate student in Chinese history, and I'm trying to learn LaTeX for writing my dissertation.

comment Chicago-style citations of CJK documents (e.g. American Oriental Society): Name order; transcribed/translated titles
I've noticed a problem with the author-date style. Even though I have too citations from 2 different publications by the same author that are both from the same year, the biblatex doesn't print the letter following the year to disambiguate the citations (e.g. 2008a and 2008b---both appear as 2008, but the link points to two different citations). Do you know how to fix this, or would you prefer that I ask a new question while referring to this one? In any case, thanks a lot.

comment Old Korean han'gŭl in XeLaTeX?
Also, do you know where I can find more info on how to write these font maps? For example, I don't always want to say Unicode 1 + Unicode 2 = Unicode 3, but Unicode 1 + any given character 2 = Unicode 3 + any given character 2?

comment Old Korean han'gŭl in XeLaTeX?
Yes! That is exactly what I need. I looked in the document under the advised section, and since the syllable blocks/conjoint jamo are not unicode characters in their own right, I don't understand how to enter that information into the font map, which only replaces two unicode characters with a third unicode character.

comment Old Korean han'gŭl in XeLaTeX?
My question is whether there is a way to combine those two unicode characters into one han'gŭl character on Mac. I know that TeX can help me write other languages (such as Manchu using montex), for which there is no native support in Mac OS. I was wondering if there is a similar package for typesetting old Korean, that's all.

comment “Interactive PDF, Latex and Article of the Future” with opentype/truetype fonts and unicode
Great! I can now open the file in other viewers as well. However, the boxes aren't behaving ideally in Adobe Reader 11.0.02 on Mac OS. Once they are opened they cannot again be closed, just moved around. And if I close the document and saves it (Reader considers it modified as soon as it's opened), the boxes will appear at the place where I dragged them before saving and closing.

I did read that question but it didn't make me fully understand how to create the font map

The result is still the same for me, I don't know what's wrong (tried the same 3 readers as before) :/

Preview; the reader included in the editor TeXPad; and Skim (all three on Mac OS). Thanks for the clarification re the citation commands, I will try them out now!

Yes I understand that, but when I used the example that was linked to in my original question, I could read the document without the popups in other readers, whereas with this one, the popups appear as open in the document when read in other readers, meaning it cannot be read using those readers at all (as opposed to simply being read as traditional PDFs with no popups). Do you see what I mean?

comment “Interactive PDF, Latex and Article of the Future” with opentype/truetype fonts and unicode
That works beautifully and it's exactly what I wanted. I just have two questions/problems: 1) When I open the document in a reader other than Adobe Acrobat/Reader, that lack support for popups, all the pop-ups are displayed by default, as opposed to being concealed by default. This makes the document unreadable. Is there any way to make them concealed by default instead? My second question is 2) is it possible to make all the biblatex citation commands (e.g. \cite, \parencite, \headlesscite etc) function like \citeTip by default? This would also enable me to use a different citation style.

This is great, thank you! I wonder if this can somehow be used with opentype fonts and full unicode. I asked this as a new question here tex.stackexchange.com/questions/111859/…

I'm having the same problem as @User17670 when I read it in Adobe Acrobat on Mac OS.

This exactly what I've been looking for. Does it work with xelatex?
