MWE:

documentclass{scrbook}



usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % For non-English languages



% Install cjk for Chinese, zhmetrics for font size.

usepackage{CJKutf8}



% OT1 for Chinese. T1 for English.

usepackage[OT1, T1]{fontenc} % T1 will be active encoding.



begin{document}



This is mainly an English document.



begin{CJK}{UTF8}{song}

With a smattering of Chinese: {fontencoding{OT1}selectfont 中文}

end{CJK}



end{document}

The error:

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file cyberb65): Font cyberb65 at 657 not found

I would at least like to know which fonts come default with which packages. In the MWE, the packages I installed are:

koma-script

inputenc

fontenc

For some unknown reason, I already have access to the gbsn font. Am on MacOS.

Side question: Is it difficult to transition to an engine that better supports UTF-8 and non-English languages?

Working answer: Don't use song font family. Use gbsn. If you wanna know how/where that font got installed by default, private message Jon who wrote this question.

And thanks to @cfr, I'm not using OT1 font encoding anymore. Not needed with gbsn font family.

Updated MWE:

documentclass{scrbook}



usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % For non-English languages.



% Install babel-vietnamese, vntex for Vietnamese.

usepackage[vietnamese, english]{babel} % English will be active language.



% Install cjk for Chinese, zhmetrics for font size.

usepackage{CJKutf8}



% T5 for Vietnamese.

usepackage[T5, T1]{fontenc} % T1 will be active encoding.



begin{document}



This is mainly an English document.



begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}

With a smattering of Chinese: 中文

end{CJK}



And some Vietnamese: {fontencoding{T5}selectfont Tiếng Việt}



end{document}

OT1 for Chinese? I don't think so. OT1 is an older Latin encoding, which does not support accented characters in the way T1 does. Not too bad for English, but pretty crap for other European languages and certainly hopeless for Chinese.

The error means that you do not have the font installed. However, this may not be true given that you've switched to OT1 which the font probably doesn't support. But the CJK fonts are not installed as part of a standard installation of TeX Live because they take a great deal of space and are not much used, even by people who need to typeset CJK. Is there some reason you want to use pdfTeX? These days, XeTeX would be the obvious solution.

Definitely fontencoding{OT1}selectfont is wrong. Whatever else is or isn't right or wrong about your code, that part surely needs to go.

@cfr Which encoding should I use for Chinese? I'm using pdfTeX because that's what online tutorials seem to start with, but will surely transition to XeTeX now. Is XeTeX better and more modern that pdfTeX these days? How should I select an encoding if not by fontencoding?

I don't know how the Chinese encodings work. Look at the documentation for the CJK packages you're using. I don't use XeTeX myself, but I certainly would if I needed to typeset Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic or any other non-Latin script. It isn't wrong to use fontencoding. The problem is the encoding you're using. That said, you should rarely, if ever, need to use fontencoding directly in a document.
