I have realized a slight typo was included in Fig3_5.txt.
The corrected one is attached to this mail.

Hans,
Japanese opening “ should be treated as opening 「, and
closing ” should be treated as closing 」, in the meaning of
spacing and line-breaking.

Thanks,

Dear Henman-san,

   So a question might be can ptex be used with ConTeXt? as the the engine?

With ConTeXt mark II (not mark IV), you can use ptex as the engine. Such 
support is included in W32TeX. (I don't know whether TeXLive 2011 
supports it.) You can type `texexec --eptex foo'.

If you want to try it, please read share/texmf/doc/context/context-w32.

 Just a remark: for cjk one can best use the mkiv feature to combine 
 fonts; there are probably some examples of korean fonts mixed with e.g. 
 palatino or times in the email archive.



Here is a sample typescript file for mixed Korean and English fonts suggested 
by Hans.


Using this file, I can use Korean font for Korean and Palatino for English.
It works well.

 You can modify this file for your purpose.

Good luck!

2012-05-08 Thread KUROKI Yusuke

Hi, Hans,

 A question for Yusuke: what script name should we use?

It is a difficult question.  In Chinese or Korean case,
what they have chosen?  In Japanese, we need to prepare a
lot of characters for font set if they complete Adobe-Japan-1.5
or something. So, some font vendors publish the font sets
including only kana-region and latin/number-region (and
elementary school level kanjis).  In this case, script=kana
might be ok, but if the font set has all the characters
of Adobe-Japan-1.5 region, then script=kana is too impolite.

Moreover, in pTeX world, we use 'kanji' for this kind, but
we need to rethink 'kanji' is most appreciate or not.

Thanks,
-- Yusuke.

we use hangul for korean and hanzi for chinese so kanji sounds ok to me 
but in fact there a bit more to it, currently we have


\definescript[hangul]  [method=hangul]
\definescript[hanzi]   [method=hanzi]
\definescript[nihongo] [method=nihongo]

and these use default presets but as there can be be variants in spacing 
one can also define for instance


\definescript [myhangul] [hangul] [preset=mypreferences]

(not that there are such preferences defined now) and more key/values 
will be supported some day


so, shall we go for 'kanji' for the default setup? but 'japanese' could 
do as well as well because we can define synonyms

Hello, Henman,

What the timing you choose to post this message!
Several days ago, I, Japanese, firstly met Hans and had
a lecture about Japanese typography and typesetting.
Now it is the duration to prepare to think about Japanese
typesetting in ConTeXt.  It is note that hanzi option of
ConTeXt is ugly for Japanese typesetting, it must come from
some Chinese typesetting custom.

In TeX world, for well-customized Japanese typesetting,
we usually use p(La)TeX developed by ASCII MEDIA WORKS Inc.
Since it has been already included TeX Live 2011 and now
Cygwin distribute texlive-collection packages officially,
you can use pTeX in Cygwin.

Another alternative is to use LuaTeX-ja package through LuaTeX.
The package is now distributed through CTAN and also upcoming
TeX Live.

Best,

Hello, Henman-san,

 Is it the font or the spacing that is bad in simplefont?

It is not the problem of simplefont itself, I think.
The problem is the rules of hanzi option does not have such
a good quality in spacing and line-breaking for Japanese typesetting.

 can ptex be used with ConTeXt? as the the engine?  Would this wowrk?

Unfortunately no.  I could not describe the reason, but everyone
gives up before trying.

A question for Yusuke: what script name should we use?

More (simple) examples are needed in order to get all relations between 
categories done (so, currently we still use a copy of chinese but with 
already a few japanese specific inter-character issues done).

Re: [NTG-context] Asian Language Support

Hi, Hans,

Tnank you for your quick try.
I will respond to you this evening (in your timezone, this afternoon),
because I don't have so much time to write sth in this morning.

 I am writing documents in English/Japanese.

 If you want to include English text, you probably need to define your
 own typescript (or use simplefonts), because most Japanese fonts have
 terrible Latin fonts...

 I can probably help you, if you tell me what exactly you need.

 If you're just typesetting Japanese text, you will need
 \setscript[hanzi] to enable linebreaks...

 And the rest is done by Unicode magic: just type away between \starttext
 and \stoptext
