Typesetting Japanese
Greetings,
I am trying to print something in Japanese, but am having trouble with
both LaTeX and OpenOffice.
In LaTeX, I downloaded the packages specified at
http://www.physics.wustl.edu/~alford/tex/japanese_latex.html including
cjk-latex, hbf-kanji48, latex-cjk-japanese and
latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab. And I included the same \usepackage
commands, and even used the provided templates. And running "latex" or
"pdflatex" with a JIS or Shift-JIS file showed the same output as on
that page. But latex ignored the Japanese, just treating it as a few
broken Roman characters to lay out, e.g. throwing errors when it
encountered an _ character.
In OpenOffice, I can't figure out how to get a Japanese input method to
work. I installed openoffice.org-l10n-ja. But how do I specify that I
want to input Japanese? I set my Asian input language to Japanese, but
can't get to it. And View | Input Method Status does not do anything
noticeable. It seems that in Ubuntu, the iiimgcf package is required
for OOo Japanese input, but there's only iiimecf in Debian, ref:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/44626
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Adam
