With MkIV you can set different fonts for Japanese with the fontfallback
mechanism, there is not documentation about it but you can on the net
a few examples how to use it:
- http://liyanrui.is-programmer.com/2009/10/21/not-just-for-chinese.12264.html
- http://liyanrui.is-programmer.com/posts/5737.html
- http://blogs.gnome.org/happyaron/2009/11/02/font-fallback-in-context-mininals/
The simplefonts modules provides a fontspec inspired interface to use
the mechanism in a simpler way:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setcjkmainfont[IPAMincho]
\setcjksansfont[IPAGothic]
\setcjkmonofont[KanjiStrokeOrders]
\starttext
...
\stoptext
