[XeTeX] Res: Minion Pro and Japanese text

[Flavio Costa]

Hi Johannes, I've double-checked I'm saving the file in UTF-8, maybe the font in your editor does not contain the glyphs.

Hi Cyril, I tried to get Japanese from Minion Pro because the characters appear in Windows' Character Map (I've attached a screenshot). I downloaded and tried other font viewers to make sure it is not just a "special feature" of Character Map, but I could not find even one decent free font manager for Windows...

Thanks,

Flavio

That's because Minion Pro does not have Japanese glyphs. You need to  
either use only a Japanese font like you did with IPAGothic and be  
content with the roman glyphs provided or indicate the font changes.
Do it by declaring a \newfontfamily, as in here:

%%%%%%
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Numbers=OldStyle]{Minion Pro}
\newfontfamily{\J}[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Hiragino Mincho Pro}
\begin{document}

English, français, português, αβγε, {\J にほんご 日本語}.

\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%

[Scale=0.85] or somesuch number also works, as given in the XeLaTeX  
template that comes with TeXShop.
