[XeTeX] A general suggetion for managing the font selection for mixed-language document

[Yin Dian]

Hi all,

I agree that it's a better idea not to implement this feature in fontspec
but in other packages, where the character class scheme may be totally
redefined discarding the effort of fontspec. In fact, the package
"zhspacing" for Chinese document spacing adjustment is almost ready for use
now. You can find out more info on the BBS of USTC and SMTH in Chinese. The
project homepage is http://code.google.com/p/zhspacing/. HTH.

Regards.
