The URL is: http://context.t-hart.com/ I have also posted some ConTeXt source files which will show you what I could do with Japanese fonts and ConTeXt right now. The PDF output files = are downloadable as well, so you can see how everything should look like. Remember that I have only used ConTeXt for only a few months, so please don't have a heart attack when you see my flashy ConTeXt coding! ;-) There is also a small list of things to do or to keep in mind when = making simple Japanese support. If someone has any more ideas, let me know. = IMHO, I think we need to concentrate on supporting Unicode fonts at first and if that works, we will look at other font encodings. The most important = feature to have right now is simple line breaking.=20 Hans, please tell me what I can do to help implementing Japanese support = in ConText, or what more information you need to get a better overview of things that need to be done. I don't know much about ConTeXt yet, but = I'll promise to do my best. My best, Tim
