ABOUT







OssiPedia (IPA) [Takayuki Yato]

Part of the Japanese Open Source Initiative, we read: IPA has been providing "IPA Font*" series from 2003, for which IPA has all rights, and released "IPAex Mincho" and "IPAex Gothic" in February 2010 for common Japanese documentation. Main features of IPAex Fonts are as follows: [Fixed width for Japanese characters like Kana and Kanji], [Proportional width for Western characters], [Best balance for Japanese documentation mixed with Western characters]. When old versions are needed for backward compatibility, "IPA Mincho" and "IPA Gothic" for fixed width usage, "IPA P Mincho" and "IPA P Gothic" for proportional width usage has been still provided. The free fonts: IPAGothic, IPAMincho, IPAPGothic, IPAPMincho, IPAexGothic, IPAexMincho.

The IPAex Type 1 package, managed by Takayuki Yato since 2013, can be freely downloaded from the CTAN sites.
