[XeTeX] Slightly embarrassed.... why does \newfontfamily not do what I expect?

[Wilfred van Rooijen]

Hi all,

The "problem" happens in a table. In the following example, the 日本語 appears in the normal text, but not in the table (?)

\documentclass[a4paper,draft,oneside,article]{memoir}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\newfontfamily\cjkfont{Kozuka Mincho Pr6N}
\cjkfont

English, Nederlands, 日本語. But in a table:

\begin{table}[ht]
  \begin{center}
  \caption[]{The caption}
    \begin{tabular}{ccc}
    English & Nederlands & 日本語 \\
    \end{tabular}
  \end{center}
\end{table}

\end{document}

If I put \cjkfont just prior to the 日本語 in the table, the characters do show up. I guess some font settings happen when going into a table? Is it maybe that the font-size is smaller for table entries?

Cheers,
Wilfred
