Greetings,

Along with the bears around here, I'm coming out of deep lurk mode hibernation.

I've had more frequent success using XeLaTeX this time than in my past attempts, but I'm still struggling most of the time, a raw beginner.

I'm trying to typeset a 300 page English book that includes a lot of Chinese and occasional short strings of Japanese. I've been able to mix Chinese and English okay, but cannot apply a Japanese font in those few places where it is needed.

The PDF output from a minimal example looks like this:

***
English
Chinese 不怕慢只怕站。
Japanese omiage, futon お土xx 、布xx
***
The English and Chinese render properly.
The xx indicates an empty box. I want to use a Japanese font so that the proper kanji, 産 appears in the first, and 団appears in the second empty box.

Here is the prologue, a pruned version of what I am using for the book:

\documentclass[largecrownvopaper,11pt,onecolumn,twoside,showtrims]{memoir}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage[BoldFont,CJKnumbb] {xeCJK}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Numbers=OldStyle]{Linux Libertine O}
\setsansfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Biolinum O}
\setCJKmainfont []{AR PL UKai TW}
\newfontfamily \forjapanese{Ume Mincho}
\begin{document}
English

Chinese 不怕慢只怕站。

Japanese omiage, futon {\forjapanese お土産、布団}
\end{document}

If I don't use the xeCJK package, the Japanese renders correctly in Ume Mincho, but the Chinese doesn't.

I'm stuck. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Jon
