Two Japanese typesetting points of interest

  • The Japanese writing system uses a mixture of three main scripts: kanji, hiragana and katakana. Roman characters are also used in some instances.
  • There are special Japanese versions of Quark Xpress and InDesign to ensure correct spacing and formatting.
