support chinese and could change markdown engine

[xubin0523]

Can you make elegent more friendly to chinese language and could changing markdown engine (I don't like python style)? It looks not perfect to my blog[http://xubin0523.github.io/bits.html]

[xubin0523]

I use this Font which works fine in chinese.

font-family: Times, "Hiragino Sans GB", "Microsoft YaHei",
                 "WenQuanYi Micro Hei", sans-serif;

@xubin0523, does this still happen with latest version?

@calfzhou, can you help here?

We can't change Markdown engine. Pelican handles Markdown for us.

If typography is the only issue then we can solve it by adding an article in the documentation.

If it only means to add a font that should not be too hard to do.

I can think of two ways to solve this issue

Using CSS

Tell CSS to use specific fonts for a language. For example special fonts for Chinese or Urdu

But does it mean we will have to ship theme with fonts? How will it affect the size of page that does not use a font?

Provide CSS configuration

We already have custom CSS. But can we have a file like pelicanconf but for Eelegant CSS.

This file will resize in the root of the blog source code. It will have variables like BODY_FONT and then elegant will pick up this variable and use it in its CSS files.

I am not sure if it is even possible.

Existing solution

1. Use custom.css
2. Add article in docs to tell user to use so and so fonts for so and so languages
   (Can user embed his own fonts easily?)
