Documentation in: /language/chinese/CJK-4.8.0-doc.tar.gz

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

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@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@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 aselinestretch 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@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.).
