BXcjkjatype Package
===================

LaTeX: Support for Japanese typesetting with pdfLaTeX and CJK package

This package provides working configuration of the CJK package suitable
for Japanese typesetting of moderate quality. Moreover, it facilitates
use of the CJK package for pLaTeX users, by providing commands that
are similar to those used by the pLaTeX kernel and some other packages
used with it.

Note that while the CJK package supports many input encodings, this
package supports only UTF-8.
