Name of contribution: hwkatakana Author's name: Gernot Hassenpflug Location on CTAN: /fonts/hwkatakana Summary description: Half-width katakana font for Japanese License type: gpl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Half-width katakana Type 1 fonts in SJIS encoding are provided to integrate with the Wadalab fonts for use with, for example, the CJK package. Auxiliary files to use the font with Unicode UTF8 encoding are also provided. The origin of the font is the Wadalab gothic font katakana glyphs, which have been modified to make up the JIS X 0201 set of half-width katakana characters using Fontforge. The Wadalab fonts need to be available for this package to work. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
