MIF Asian Text Processing Statements
To determine which encoding was used, each MIF file that contains Chinese text must include a MIFEn-
coding statement near the beginning of the file. It must appear before any Chinese text in the file. The
string value in the MIFEncoding statement is the Chinese spelling of the word “Chinese”. FrameMaker
reads this fixed string and determines what the hexadecimal encoding is for it. From that, FrameMaker
expects the same encoding to be used for all subsequent Asian text in the document.

To see the characters spelling the word “Chinese”, you must view the MIF file on a system that is enabled
for Chinese character display. When the MIF is displayed on a Roman system, the characters appear
garbled.

MIFEncoding statement for Korean
FrameMaker recognizes one encoding scheme for Korean: KSC5601. All platform versions of FrameMaker
write KSC5601 for Korean.

Combined Fonts
Combined fonts assign two component fonts to one combined font name. This is done to handle both an
Asian font and a Western font as though they are in one font family. In a combined font, the Asian font is
the base font, and the Roman font is the Western font. For example, you can create a combined font named
Mincho-Palatino that uses Mincho for Asian characters and switches to Palatino for Roman characters.

When reading a MIF paragraph that uses Mincho-Palatino, FrameMaker displays Asian characters in
Mincho and Roman characters in Palatino. If the Mincho font is not installed on the user’s system,
FrameMaker displays the Asian text in a font that uses the same character encoding as Mincho.
