Typing Japanese

Which font new Japanese text uses

First the font your PDF already uses for Japanese, even when only a few of its letters are embedded: MythosPDF loads the complete font and sets new letters in it. If the PDF has no Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana font at all, it asks before adding an open Noto font for those letters, and tells you it did.

Questions people ask

+Can I use Roman numerals for the front matter?

Not yet. Arabic numbers are supported.

+My university requires PDF/A. Can you convert?

Not yet. Most thesis tools and word processors can export PDF/A directly.

+Can I write parts of the thesis in Japanese and parts in English?

Yes. Each language is set in the font the PDF uses for it, so a bilingual thesis keeps both fonts.
