The tex file is UTF-8 coded of course.
1.
I want the traditional reading from top to bottom and right to left. How can I realize it?
2.
In my example I have to set explicite a font. It is because the default font doesn't support japanese characters. I tried Arial (for example) but it doesn't work. But using Arial in LibreOffice work fine with japanese characters. So why can LibreOffice display japanese characters with Arial but XeTeX can not?
That is the code
Code: Select all
\documentclass[20pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainfont{TakaoMincho}
