[NTG-context] Re: Japanese

Dear Dalyoung, Thank you very much for your insight. I downloaded the Noto Serif JP fonts and set up a fontfamily as you indicated, by adding \setscript[nihongo] which solves a problem I had with line breakings. And everything works smoothly! So, for the mail archive, here is what I have and what works fine: %%% Noto Fonts \definefontfamily[JapaneseFont][rm][Noto Serif JP] [ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, sl={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes] \definefontfamily[JapaneseFont][ss][Noto Serif JP] [ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, sl={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes] \definefontfamily[JapaneseFont][tt][Noto Serif JP] [ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, sl={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes] \definefontfamily[JapaneseFont][math][Tex Gyre Termes Math] %\definefontfamily[JapaneseFont][math][Tex Gyre Pagella Math] %\definefontfamily[JapaneseFont][math][Tex Gyre Aventor] %%%% \setupbodyfont[JapaneseFont,12pt] \setupruby[location=top,voffset=-2ex] \setupwhitespace[big] \setscript[nihongo] \starttext \ruby{早}{はや}く。 いきましょう。 \stoptext Best regards: Otared

Dear Otared,

I am using Korean as main language. I used use typescript file, but recently I use \definefontfamily. Since using Japanese font is similar to use Korean font, I show my example of using Noto fonts. It was made by the help of expert of this list long time ago.

You may change "Noto Serif CJK KR” to Japanese font.

I also use "\setscript[hangul]” when I use Korean as mainlanaguage.

I hope that you may enhance the following code.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

%%% Noto Fonts

\definefontfamily[notoFont][rm][Noto Serif CJK KR] [ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, sl={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes]

\definefontfamily[notoFont][ss][Noto Sans CJK KR] [ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, sl={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes]

\definefontfamily[notoFont][tt][Noto Sans Mono CJK KR] [ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, sl={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes]

Hi Hraban,

Your are right indeed ! I didn’t imagine that it was so easy to set up a document to write in Japanese… Actually I followed the example by Emanuel Han which is essentially what you suggest (although he gave me also the hint to add the furagana).

Best regards: Otared

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.

Try to replace the simplefonts calls with something like

\definefontfamily[myfonts][rm][SomeFont] \definefontfamily[myfonts][ss][SomeOtherFont]

\setupbodyfont[myfonts,rm,12pt]

With Latin fonts, it usually works.
