Setting up kanji embedding in TeX Live

Together with Hironori Kitagawa (北川 弘典) we finally updated the instruction on kanji embedding based on jfontmaps. The page is located at http://tug.org/texlive/updmap-kanji.html and describes the status of the upcoming TeX Live 2013 release. I have already described the changes in the post on jfontmaps release 20130410.0. Notable additions to the mentioned page are

  • description which font set has support for which character collection
  • order of family selection explained

We hope that this helps users to set up proper kanji embedding according to the specific needs. If there are any suggestions or request, please contact us (via the usual email lists, the TeX QA forum, a comment here, …).
