It's time to discuss the topic "CJK support in ConTeXt" in a more public place. The current version of ConTeXt supports Chinese only. But the same mechasism enables Korean too. The remaining language is Japanese. In some sense, it is possible to support Japanese in the current subfont mechanism. But several issues (e.g. Japanese kerning system as explained by Okumura) may occur. So, alternative way is to use ASCII pTeX for Japanese. Basically looks no problem but I worry eTeX extension features. Is it possible to run ConTeXt without eTeX extension features, Hans? My suggestion for supporting CJK characters in ConTeXt is to write a new module using e-Omega. Even though e-Omega does not produce PDF format directly, there are not much problem with DVIPDFMx.
