Hi,
I just managed to get japanese text working with Lout. Although this is
just a badly hacked proof of concept, I thought I post it here.
Japanese line breaking rules aren't properly implemented yet. It uses a
filter script written in Tcl (8.3 or newer) for converting japanese
characters into Lout commands. Yes, that's terribly slow.
The font is currently hardcoded to be Ryumin-Light, which is included in
japanese postscript printers. On Debian, gsfonts-wadalab-config can be
called to register a replacement font with ghostscript.
I will soon try to turn this into a fully functional solution. If you
have any ideas/comments/feature requests, please share them.
regards,
David
