So ASCII was -interested in the TeX system. They developed "ASCII Nihongo TeX" in -cooperation with a group of the Keio University in 1987. ASCII Nihongo TeX -is freeware. ASCII Co. implemented this system on MS-DOS in 1989 and sold -it. ASCII Co. added the capability of vertical typesetting to Nihongo TeX--- -this is called the p version or pTeX (publishing TeX). - -ASCII translated some important books into the Japanese language. These -books are of course typesetted with Nihongo TeX. - - "The TeX book", "The Metafont book" Knuth. - - "LaTeX: A Document Preparation System" Lamport. - -Many articles about TeX appear in the "UNIX magazine" published monthly by -ASCII. - - -Some features of Nihongo TeX: - - 1. The dvi file format is different from the original TeX's dvi file - format. (NTT-JTeX's dvi file format is the same as original one. So we - can use NTT-JTeX's dviware for the CJK package.) - - 2. Nihongo TeX is not only capable of using TeX Font Metric files (tfm), - but can also use Japanese Font Metric files (jfm). The jfm file format - is defined as an extension of the tfm file format for Nihongo TeX. One - jfm file has about 7000 kanji character metrics and kerning - informations to cover entire JIS fonts (and thus avoiding subfonts). - [See shibuaki.txt for some details about space handling between - Japanese and ASCII characters.] - - 3.
