> CJK is a macro package for LaTeX, providing simultaneous support for > various Asian scripts in many encodings (including Unicode): > > Chinese (both traditional and simplified) > Japanese > Korean > Thai > > A special add-on feature is an interface to the Emacs editor > (cjk-enc.el) which gives simultaneous, easy-to-use support to a bunch > of other scripts in addition to the above: > > Cyrillic > Greek > Latin-based scripts > Russian > Vietnamese > Current development snapshots are available from > > http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=cjk.git;a=summary > > which also shows the commitments to the git repository of the CJK > package. > > Bug reports should go to cjk-bug at ffii.org. > > ====================================================================== > > > Version 4.8.0: > 22-May-2008 > new: > Support for EUC-JP with DNP font encoding has been > added. > > Support for XeLaTeX has been contributed by SUN > Wen-Chang <sunwch at hotmail.com> (in file > `xCJK.sty'). Note that this is just a rudimentary > emulation layer; most users are probably better > off using XeLaTeX's Unicode and font support > directly. See `xCJK.txt' for more details. > > pinyin.sty: > Added support for T5 encoding. > > CJKvert.sty: > Added command \CJKbaselinestretch to adjust the > baseline stretch used in vertical typesetting. > Previously, the value 1.3 was hardcoded. > > Added package option `usebaselinestretch' to use > the \baselinestretch value set before loading > CJKvert.sty; \CJKbaselinestretch then becomes a > factor to adjust it. > > Add support for \CJKhdef{offset}{...} in > .fdx-files. For example, to vertically shift > all glyphs of the `bsmi' font shape in Big 5 > encoding (for horizontal writing), put > > \CJKhdef{offset}{-.07em} > > into c00bsmi.fdx and add > > \usepackage{CJKvert} > \CJKhorz > > to your preamble. > > errors: > \CJK at bold didn't work properly for C49 (half-width > katakana) encoding. Now C49 is handled as a CJK > encoding, this is, you should use the various size > functions (`CJK', `CJKb', etc.).
