Most of my materials are in English, or mixed Japanese and English. Until now, I have been using the following setup:</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">- XeLaTeX + fontspec</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style:

Unfortunately, the manual is only available in Chinese. So my question is:</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;
font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Xelatex, fontspec, xeCJK, zhspacing..... what is the best way to go? Which of these packages can be considered "mature"? Also, polyglossia does not handle Japanese (yet), what is the status there? Or should we forget about XeLaTeX and go for luaLaTeX? Some general comments would be warmly appreciated.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Thanks,</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family:
