Hi:
I was just looking at the files for dealing with Chinese in ConTeXt. How
difficult would it be to handle Japanese? As I understand it, the standard
Japanese encoding (jis) is 7-bit. Another plus is that Japanese is now
frequently written horizontally, left to right (except in newspapers and
novels). What would need to be done to get basic functionality?

japanese should be not that difficult to support
- labels
- encoding (i need fonts and more info and example)
- number conversion
so, mostly a matter of filling in some gaps; i think that most of the
mechanisms are there
