LuaTeX-ja wiki

LuaTeX-ja is a macro package to typeset Japanese texts using Lua(La)TeX. A goal of this project is to provide an equal or superior typesetting system to pTeX, which is a traditional standard Japanese TeX engine.

Download

At this moment, there is no stable version. You can download the latest versions from the Git repository.

LuaTeX-ja is also available from the following archive and distributions:

Present version of LuaTeX-ja requires the followings:

  • LuaTeX beta-0.74.0 or later (not work with svn trunk r4760--)
  • luaotfload package (v2.2 or later)
  • luatexbase package (v0.6 or later)

Also, two CMap files UniJIS2004-UTF32-H and Adobe-Japan1-UCS2 must be found by Kpathsea. You can check this by kpsewhich command:

$ kpsewhich -format=cmap  UniJIS2004-UTF32-H
/opt/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/cmap/adobemapping/aj16/CMap/UniJIS2004-UTF32-H
$ kpsewhich -format=cmap  Adobe-Japan1-UCS2
/opt/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/cmap/adobemapping/ToUnicode/Adobe-Japan1-UCS2

Then, please change the following line of ltj-jfont.lua
tex.sprint(cat_lp, (tostring(t):gsub('table: 0x','ltjaltfont')))
to
tex.sprint(cat_lp, (tostring(t):gsub('table: ",'ltjaltfont')))
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Notes for MiKTeX users

The first run of LuaTeX-ja (after installing or updating) requires that two CMap files, UniJIS2004-UTF32-H and Adobe-Japan1-UCS2, must be found from LuaTeX.

But it seems that MiKTeX does not satisfy this condition, so you will encounter an error like the following:

! LuaTeX error ...iles (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/tex/luatex/luatexja/ltj-rmlgbm.lua
bad argument #1 to 'open' (string expected, got nil)

To resolve this error, please use the following batch file (you may need to edit second and third lines):

REM --------
set TEST=%TEMP%\ltj-test                
set MIKTEX="C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9"
set CMAP=%MIKTEX%\poppler\cMap
mkdir %TEST%
cd %TEST%
