I was wondering if any body could give me a better quality copy of this. As you can see it's quite pixelated.....

Here's what I've got...

Just make your own. OS X comes with traditional Chinese input built in.

I recommend you use Pinyin. That would be Dao De Jing. Or copy and paste: 道德經

Sure. In one sense it's actually easier to input Chinese than other languages--the input menu can be switched to English.

Assuming you have OS X, go to the International prefpane in System Preferences. Click on the "Input Menu" tab. Scroll way down to the bottom where there's an item called 繁體中文. The icon looks like a silver square with a brush in it. Check it.

Now you should see a new menu appear to the right of the regular stuff in the menubar. Choose 繁體中文. A pencil menu should appear. Choose "Show English Menu" from the bottom of the pencil menu. Now choose "Pinyin" from the pencil menu.

One more setting to change: Go to Preferences in the pencil menu and in the resulting window, check the last box on the left.

Now go to a Unicode-aware app and type in one character at a time, i.e. "dao" but not "daode." A window will appear from which you choose the correct character. This can be tedious, but the characters you want are all close to the top.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
