Dear ConTeXt users,
I am trying to write a document (grammar notes) in English and Japanese and so far have used XeTeX (for Unicode support) with tikZ (for graphics) quite successfully. However, I wish to convert to (Xe)ConTeXt in order to have more control over the page design.
At the moment I am stuck at trying to define English and Japanese fonts. In XeTeX I used
\usepackage[BoldFont]{xeCJK} \setCJKmainfont{IPAMincho} \setCJKsansfont{IPAGothic} \setCJKmonofont{KanjiStrokeOrders}
in order to set the three different Japanese fonts I am using.
I haven't found any documentation on how to implement something equivalent in ConTeXt and would be most grateful if someone could outline how I would best go about converting my XeTeX document to ConTeXt.
Many thanks. Kind regards, Severin
P.S.: If you think I'm crazy for trying to mix XeTeX, ConTeXt and tikZ, please tell me now... =) Also, it feels like ConTeXt MkIV with LuaTeX would be the best choice (if the project were just already beyond the beta stage), but I don't really know an awful lot about that either. Any thoughts on how successfully I might be able to implement the above in LuaTeX would also be much appreciated.
There will be no further efforts to support fonts, languages or scripts in context mkii/xetex (apart from bug fixes) so using mkiv is a better option I use mkiv myself and it's quite useable. Actually, I've not been using mkii for years apart from format generation and an occasional test run. Mkiv will be beta for a while simply because successively code is been rewritten / upgraded and because it goes in sync with luatex development.
