Right. I got the happy message from you and Werner, and am reading the documentation for CJK again now that I have some idea of what it all means. I think that I can use TTF fonts from my Windows machine (at least for testing), several of the EPSON gothic "bold" fonts are very nice. I'm sorry for my own slowness in understanding the procedures necessary to do what I want, so I'm going to be asking some dumb questions on this list until it all works out. >>> I know in general mincho (~serif) and gothic (~sans-serif, maybe >>> semi-bold) are available under for example OpenOffice. > > ? > > OpenOffice doesn't come with Japanese fonts but of course you can use > any Japanese fonts you have installed with OpenOffice. OK. (I meant there are many fonts working under OO which I don't yet have under LaTeX.) >> The Watanabe font don't have bold series.

The good news is that I get the idea that TTF fonts can be made to work under LaTeX. Old hat to you experts but new to me I fear. > 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 :-) -- Gernot Hassenpflug, NICT, Tokyo _______________________________________________ Cjk maillist - [email protected] https://lists.ffii.org/mailman/listinfo/cjk
