jfontmaps – Font maps and configuration tools for Japanese fonts
The package offers font maps, and supporting material, that make
various Japanese fonts available to users of (u)ptex and related
programs or formats.
The package does not ship any of the fonts mentioned in the
documentation, but only map files for use with
dvipdfmx; the user must obtain the other
fonts separately. The first exception is that
ipa and ipaex the
respective fonts are shipped as part of the TeX Live distribution
and are available for free.
The other exception is that the Yu Mincho/Gothic fonts
are available to Windows and MacOSX users, as part of their
operating system distribution.
This package has now been superseeded by
ptex-fontmaps.
