Re: [cjk] [Cjk-bug] Problem with Japanese characters in MiKTeX, related to Wadalab and cjk-fonts

Hi Marthein

Thank you very much for the tip. Indeed it works well for me with TeX Live. In 
my case I have no particular need of MikTeX, I just use emacs to edit the 
documents and pdflatex to process them. Like you, I had been using MikTeX for 
years and never encountered this issue beforehand. 

Best regards 

Dominique

Hello Dominique,

I have been using MikTeX for over 10 years, without problems. The problem with 
the Japanese fonts in MikTeX can probably be solved after investing some time 
to understand the system, but I was not willing to do that. Instead I am now 
using TeX Live, which does the job without problems. I would rather have stayed 
using MikTeX, but I don't think it's a users job to correct package errors.

Best regards,

Marthein
