PXchfon Package

LaTeX: Japanese font setup for pLaTeX and upLaTeX

This package enables users to declare in their document which physical fonts should be used for the standard Japanese (logical) fonts of pLaTeX and upLaTeX. Font setup is realized by changing the font mapping of dvipdfmx, and thus users can use any (monospaced) physical fonts they like, once they properly install this package, without creating helper files for each new fonts. This package also supports setup for the fonts used in the japanese-otf package.
