XeTeX ⇒ Installing xeCJK macro

[oldmankit]

Hi,

I've just discovered xetex and it looks like the solution to my need for both English and Thai in the same document. I wasn't satisfied with having to change the encoding of the whole document to Thai, which was my solution before. This upset the type-setting of the Western characters.

I followed the readme here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX

I can now achieve what I want by putting Thai words inside the following:
{\fontspec{Garuda}
and closing with
}

However to make it easier (I don't want to type all that code for every Thai section) I continued through the instructions and found I needed to install this macro: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros ... /xeCJK.dtx

I downloaded it fine, but when I ran

Code: Select all

xelatex xeCJK.dtx

it reported a whole load of errors, starting here:

Code: Select all

! Undefined control sequence.
\makexeCJKactive ->\XeTeXinterchartokenstate 
                                             =1\relax 
l.64 \makexeCJKactive

I tried to search for a solution, but it all seems to be in Chinese, which I don't understand.

Any help is much appreciated.

This one's pretty important to me, so bump bump bump
