Dear ConTeXt users,
I am trying to write a document (grammar notes) in English and Japanese
and so far have used XeTeX (for Unicode support) with tikZ (for
graphics) quite successfully. However, I wish to convert to (Xe)ConTeXt
in order to have more control over the page design.
At the moment I am stuck at trying to define English and Japanese fonts.
In XeTeX I used
\usepackage[BoldFont]{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{IPAMincho}
\setCJKsansfont{IPAGothic}
\setCJKmonofont{KanjiStrokeOrders}
in order to set the three different Japanese fonts I am using.
I haven't found any documentation on how to implement something
equivalent in ConTeXt and would be most grateful if someone could
outline how I would best go about converting my XeTeX document to ConTeXt.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Severin
P.S.: If you think I'm crazy for trying to mix XeTeX, ConTeXt and tikZ,
please tell me now... =) Also, it feels like ConTeXt MkIV with LuaTeX
would be the best choice (if the project were just already beyond the
beta stage), but I don't really know an awful lot about that either. Any
thoughts on how successfully I might be able to implement the above in
LuaTeX would also be much appreciated.
There will be no further efforts to support fonts, languages or scripts
in context mkii/xetex (apart from bug fixes) so using mkiv is a better
option
I use mkiv myself and it's quite useable. Actually, I've not been using
mkii for years apart from format generation and an occasional test run.
Mkiv will be beta for a while simply because successively code is been
rewritten / upgraded and because it goes in sync with luatex development.
