[XeTeX] xdCJK how to mix occasional Japanese with Chinese and English

[Wilfred van Rooijen]

Life can be even simpler. Especially of you are not too much interested in the finer details of line-breaking etc. The following works quite OK for me:

\documentclass[]{memoir}

\usepackage{polyglossia}  % will load fontspec 


%--------------------------------------------------------------------
% Setup line breaking etc for Japanese (this should also be satis-
% factory for non-Japanese parts of the text)
%--------------------------------------------------------------------
\setdefaultlanguage{english}
\XeTeXlinebreaklocale "ja"
\XeTeXlinebreakskip=0em plus 0.1em minus 0.01em


%--------------------------------------------------------------------
% Set automatic switch between Roman and CJK font
%--------------------------------------------------------------------
\XeTeXinterchartokenstate = 1

% when going from not CJK to CJK
\XeTeXinterchartoks 0 1   = {\cjkfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 0 2   = {\cjkfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 0 3   = {\cjkfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 255 1 = {\cjkfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 255 2 = {\cjkfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 255 3 = {\cjkfont}

% when going from CJK to not CJK
\XeTeXinterchartoks 1 0   = {\latinfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 2 0   = {\latinfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 3 0   = {\latinfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 1 255 = {\latinfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 2 255 = {\latinfont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 3 255 = {\latinfont}

\newfontfamily{\cjkfont}  [Mapping=tex-text]{Kozuka Mincho Pr6N}
\newfontfamily{\latinfont}[Mapping=tex-text]{TeX Gyre Termes} 
\newfontfamily{\greekfont}[Mapping=tex-text]{Old Standard} 
\newfontfamily{\codefont} [Mapping=tex-text]{Liberation Mono} 

\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{TeX Gyre Termes}

In this case, if you type a normal sentence, "I live in Tokyo (that is 東京 in Japanese)", it will automatically come out in the correct font, although the switch from CJK to not-CJK sometimes seems to not work perfectly.

I'm not expert of xeCJK but it seems

\setCJKfamilyfont{ume}{Ume Mincho}
\newcommand{\jp}[1]{{\CJKfamily{ume}#1}}

Japanese omiage, futon \jp{お土産、布団}

works for me.  Note in \setCJKfamilyfont, {ume} can be
any name you like but {Ume Mincho} should be real japanese
fonts name.
Further, I don't have every fonts you use so I tested
with another fonts on Debian.

I hope this helps you a bit.

Best regards,            2012-4-24(Tue)
