I've looked into this, and it looks like there's no reliable way to get Japanese to work under LaTeX. I've tried pTeX, and I get this output and no Japanese text in the resulting PDF. platex results in a DVI which has the same problem: | Code: | This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)

Where do I get these fonts? I already have latex-unicode and cjk-latex installed.

the cjk-latex gentoo package doesn't work for me for font sizes other than 10pt, so I got the cjk-latex-4.6.0 ebuild out of the gentoo bugtracker, renamed it to 4.7.0 (because that's the latest version and the ebuild will work unmodified) and renamed the 4.5.2 cjk-latex-fonts package to 4.7 as well. With this, Japanese in tetex works for me, like this:
| Code: |
\usepackage[nocjkjis]{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[C40,T1]{fontenc}
\newcommand\japanesetext[1]{\bgroup\fontencoding{C40}\fontfamily{song}\selectfont\SetUnicodeOption{cjkjis}#1\egroup}
\begin{document}
\japanesetext{ひらがなカタカナ漢字}
\end{document}
|
However, it is using an ugly bitmap font which is barely readable. I can live with that, because I rarely actually need to put in Japanese characters somewhere (usually only for the glossary). I didn't manage yet to install a custom font for tetex... none of the howtos seem to work for me. If you seriously want to typeset Japanese text, expect there to be a ton of problems. Have a look at texlive / xetex, as it comes with built in TTF font support. It's the best I've come across so far regarding TeX + CJK, but still, it is far from perfect.
As for pTeX, this is what probably should work, since it's a Japanese distro and documentation is only available in Japanese too - but said documentation is too complicated for me to understand and so I didn't ever manage to produce any useful output with it either. Plus I don't need pure Japanese documents, but mixed German + Japanese if at all, making matters even more complicated. |

Mixed English and Japanese is what I need, for notes in my Japanese class. Why does pTeX complain about the lack of fonts? Where would I get the ones it's requesting?

as for old cjk-latex, I think it simply installed them into a wrong directory, and the newer ebuild fixed that. it only supplies you with an ugly bitmap font though.
regarding pTeX, I have no idea, sorry.  |

It looks like even with that ebuild renamed to cjk-latex.4.7.0.latex, the fonts still aren't displayed in neither KPDF nor KDVI. I even tried leaving the font size the default 10pt.

I really recommend that you look at XeTeX/XeLaTeX.
A minimal example:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{Kochi Mincho}
\begin{document}
This is english and 日本語.
\end{document} |

Hello,
I tried XeLaTeX. Works like a charm with the example in the previous post. I however got "Undefined control sequence" errors when trying to compile a document I am working on against XeLaTeX. I coudn't figure out what's wrong so I turned back to normal LaTeX with CJK extension (latex-cjk).
I followed this link in order to install the Cyberbit font correctly for LaTeX.
Now adding japanese text to my documents is as simple as:
| Code: |
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{CJK}
\begin{document}
Document with mixed text.
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{cyberbit}
日本語
\end{CJK}
some more text...
\end{document}
|
Regards,
Jan
p.s. in documentation for latex-cjk-common there is detailed how-to on adding fonts to your LaTeX installation but I found the above link easier to understand. |
