[NTG-context] Re: Japanese

Hi Emanuel, Thanks for the example. In fact I don’t need vertical typesetting for my Japanese text, so your example works fine for me. Actually I had to change the name of the font to Hiragino Mincho ProN W3 in order to get your example work. Also I think with the recent versions of ConTeXt there is no need to add \enableregime[utf] because ConTeXt is working with Unicode any way. I added also a line to define a math font, since I have read here on the mailing list that a math font should be set… Maybe someone among the experts can tell us if I am right, or if one has to set other fonts as well. So your example which works fine for me is now: % begin simple-japanese.tex \definefontfamily [JapaneseFont] [rm] [Hiragino Mincho ProN W3] \definefontfamily [JapaneseFont] [ss] [Hiragino Mincho ProN W3] \definefontfamily [JapaneseFont] [mm] [math] [lucidaot] [default] \setupbodyfont[JapaneseFont,14pt] \setupruby[location=top,voffset=-1.6ex] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \ruby{僕}{ぼく}はもう\ruby{寝}{ね}る。 お\ruby{休}{やす}みなさい＾＿＾ \stoptext %end simple-japanese.tex Best regards: Otared

Unfortunately vertical typesetting is not supported by ConTeXt. That's a big pity.

If horizontal typesetting is fine, this little working example with furigana might give you some hints. Hiragino Mincho Pro should be installed by Default on MacOS.

\enableregime[utf] % enable unicoded input \definefontfamily [JapaneseFont] [rm] [hiraginominchopro]

\setupruby[location=top,voffset=-1.6ex, ]

\starttext \JapaneseFont

\ruby{僕}{ぼく}はもう\ruby{寝}{ね}る。

お\ruby{休}{やす}みなさい＾＿＾

\stoptext

Does anyone have a simple setup of fonts to write a small Japanese document (possibly with furagana) ? I am using MacOS and I have several Japanese fonts on the system. I have some old examples which do not typeset correctly now, maybe because they use the old module simplefonts and commands such as \setcjkmainfont and friends.

Many thanks in advance: Otared
