Please can someone with experience creating docs in Texlive that contain simplified Chinese characters give an outline of how its done? Things like:
*what texlive packages you have installed
*the preamble to your .tex document
*commands you use to begin the environment containing the Chinese text
Any helpful urls much appreciated too.
Thanks in advance!

I definitely remember that TexLive does support Chinese, even 2 yrs ago. But can't remember how it was done.

I've never used it, but the you need
texlive-langcjk
texlive-langcjk-doc
The doc package probably contains more than enough help.

As an alternative look into XeTeX, it's included in texlive. As I don't use Arch at the moment I don't know how this is set up in there, but should be useable by default(?)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{SimHei}
\begin{document}
你好
\end{document}

I think the most stable way is LaTeX+CJK
In arch, use TeXLive 2007 and generate fonts by yourself
Here's a guide: http://mailboxpublic.googlepages.com/te … inesehowto

thanks, struq, Latex+CJK now up and running
I used the cyberbit fonts package from AUR. I also found this mail archive to contain a useful howto:

Still, the guide you suggested has the advantage that font installation is all in the user's home directory. No tinkering around as root in the texlive installation, which I think is a good thing.
只要我学会中文我就可以多写论文现在!
