Emacs Chinese-related Settings

Auto Switch Input Method in Evil #
This setting makes it possible to switch input method based on the context of cursor when entering insert mode.
sis #
I’m using sis package with this configuration. You may need to install macism if you’re not using railwaycat/emacsmacport. More settings can be found in emacs-smart-input-source.
(sis-ism-lazyman-config
"com.apple.keylayout.US"
"com.apple.inputmethod.SCIM.ITABC")
(sis-global-cursor-color-mode t)
(sis-global-respect-mode t)
(sis-global-context-mode t)
(sis-global-inline-mode t)
fcitx #
You can also install fcitx-remote for-osx and use cute-jumper/fcitx.el to do so. As homebrew no longer support some build options, you need to follow the install instructions in the GitHub repository to build fcitx.
Mono Chinese Font #
I use a 14pt English font and 16pt Chinese font, one Chinese character is the same width as two English characters. It can be set by adding this into Emacs configuration file.
dotspacemacs-default-font '("Menlo"
:size 14.0
:weight normal
:width normal)
;; add into dotspacemacs/user-config()
(dolist (charset '(kana han symbol cjk-misc bopomofo))
(set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font)
charset (font-spec :family "PingFang SC"
:size 16)))
If you enable the chinese layer in Spacemacs, it provides a more convenient function:
(spacemacs//set-monospaced-font "Menlo" "PingFang SC" 14 16)
PS: valign provides visual alignment for Org Mode and Markdown without changing fonts.
