How to generate Chinese characters using Postscript?

Does anyone know how to create Chinese characters using Postscript or related tools? I would like to use unicode to represent Chinese characters, but Postscript doesn't seem to support unicode. In addition, I would like to specify several fonts to create the same character.

So I have two questions: 1. How to use unicode in Postscript? Or how to list a Chinese character set in postscript style? 2. How to specify font configurations using Postscript?

Finally, if the postscript cannot do the job, what tools should I use for my purpose?

Many thanks!

There is no special support for Unicode fonts in the official PostScript language specification . (And this is the final version of the specification for PS Level 3, valid since its publication in 1999 - PostScript is no longer being developed as a language ...)

However, PostScript supports (starting at level 2) multibyte fonts (2-, 3-, and 4-bytes) in a general way (see "CID"). All PostScript fonts need to be "encoded": basically, the encoding is a table that shows the position of the font index, and the description of the glyph for this character. Thus, although there are no Unicode fonts as such, there are multibyte CID fonts that provide a subset of the unicode range.
