BXcjkjatype Package

LaTeX: Support for Japanese typesetting with pdfLaTeX and CJK package

This package provides working configuration of the CJK package suitable for Japanese typesetting of moderate quality. Moreover, it facilitates use of the CJK package for pLaTeX users, by providing commands that are similar to those used by the pLaTeX kernel and some other packages used with it.

Note that while the CJK package supports many input encodings, this package supports only UTF-8.
