[NTG-context] Re: Japanese

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.
