Greetings,
I am trying to print something in Japanese, but am having trouble with
both LaTeX and OpenOffice.
In LaTeX, I downloaded the packages specified at
http://www.physics.wustl.edu/~alford/tex/japanese_latex.html including
cjk-latex, hbf-kanji48, latex-cjk-japanese and
latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab. And I included the same \usepackage
commands, and even used the provided templates. And running "latex" or
"pdflatex" with a JIS or Shift-JIS file showed the same output as on
that page. But latex ignored the Japanese, just treating it as a few
broken Roman characters to lay out, e.g. throwing errors when it
encountered an _ character.
Perhaps you can try "sjislatex yourfile.tex" on the SJIS tex source
file. You can also take a look at the examples directory in the cjk
installation.
Okay, I tried cjk-write-file and sjislatex, with the examples and with
my own files, and it always stops with something like:
% sjislatex japanese_template.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

I've tried a lot of variations of templates, load options, ways to
indicate that a file is sjis, etc. and nothing seems to work.
This is very frustrating. :-(
Yes, indeed.
I guess it's because japanese_template.tex is written in sjis using
emacs which has its own Japanese input method. Therefore, it has to be
converted *inside* emacs. I downloaded the (converted)
japanese_template.cjk from the web page and "latex
japanese_template.cjk" and "pdflatex japanese_template.cjk" produced the
right output. I'm ignorant about emacs, unfortunately. I don't use it.
I don't write Japanese very often but when I have to, I use gedit with
LC_CTYPE set to ja_JP.eucjp. (My default locale is en_US.utf8). I have this
alias eucgedit="LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucjp gedit"
in my .bashrc to call gedit. I can then simply use latex or pdflatex to
compile the latex source. I use scim + anthy as input method. All
packages are installed via apt-get.
AFAIK, ja_JP.sjis is not provided out of the box in debian.
Regards,
ST
