• chinsimpmac.txt: Used for legacy files that use Mac OS X Simplified Chinese encodings.
• chintradbig5.txt: Used for legacy files that use Traditional Chinese encodings.
• japanesemac.txt: Used for legacy files that use Mac OS X Japanese encodings
• japanesewin.txt: Used for legacy files that use Windows Japanese encodings.
• koreanmac.txt: Used for legacy files that use Mac OS X Korean encodings.
• koreanwin.txt: Used for legacy files that use Windows Korean encodings.
As installed, these mapping tables contain instructions for creating custom mappings,
but they do not include any actual mappings. To utilize a special mapping, you must
replace one of these files with a file that does contain mappings for a particular type
of encoding. You can find such files in the folders in the "LegacyMappingTables" folder
(inside the "CustomMappingTables" folder):
• Hong Kong: Contains a "chintradbig5.txt" file that maps Hong Kong Big5 characters to
Unicode.
• Korean: Contains a "koreanmac.txt" file that maps Mac OS X Korean characters to
Unicode.
• Taiwanese: Contains a "chintradbig5.txt" file that maps Taiwan Big5 characters to
Unicode.
For example, if you have a pre-8.0 project that uses the Hong Kong Big5 encoding,
copy the "chintradbig5.txt" folder from the LegacyMappingTables/Hong Kong folder
to the "CustomMappingTables" folder, replacing the existing "chintradbig5.txt" file
(you may want to save a copy of the original "chintradbig5.txt" file elsewhere). Then
quit QuarkXPress, relaunch, and open the project. When you open the project,
QuarkXPress uses the Hong Kong-specific mapping table to convert the project's Big5
text to Unicode.
Mapping tables are used only when opening pre-8.0 projects. Once you have saved a
project in the current QuarkXPress version format, the text is in Unicode and the
mapping table is no longer required.
Mapping for projects that use custom characters
If characters in a legacy project use an extended code range, those characters may
display incorrectly when you open that project in QuarkXPress 8.0 or later. To fix this
problem, you can change the way the problematic characters are mapped to Unicode
characters by using a custom mapping table. A mapping table is a text file that tells
QuarkXPress how to convert text that uses a particular flavor of encoding to Unicode.
Each mapping table contains a list of encoding-specific code points and their
corresponding Unicode code points.
To create a mapping table, first navigate to the "CustomMappingTables" folder:

Settings\ProgramData\Quark\QuarkXPress[version]\CustomMappingTables
