I'm trying very hard to compile the minimal document in this example. I just want to use CJK on my Windows install of Miktex and it always fails with this message:

miktex-makemf: The udmj source file could not be found.
Running hbf2gf.exe...

hbf2gf (CJK ver. 4.8.0)

Couldn't find `udmj.cfg'
miktex-maketfm: No creation rule for font udmj67.

! Font C70/min/m/n/10/67=udmj67 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not f
ound.
<to be read again>
                   relax
l.7 \begin{CJK}{UTF8}{min}未
                             t+¦pü¬püŵòúpééµí£pü»püòpüÅpéësôë\end{CJK} \\
?

Any ideas on how to fix this?

There are some problem with MiKTeX's cjk-fonts package. Unicode Japanese fonts for wadalab are missing.

In MiKTeX now, you can only use C42 and C52 font encoding for wadalab fonts, say, use

\begin{CJK}{JISdnp}{min}

or

\begin{CJK}{JIS2dnp}{min}

with proper input encoding will work. It is really not enough, I think.

An alternative is to use xeCJK with XeLaTeX. For example,

% UTF-8 Encoding, compile with XeLaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{MS Mincho} % for \rmfamily
\begin{document}
おはよう
\end{document}

  • already did that – Nate Glenn Sep 20 '11 at 14:13
  • @Nate: Then try to refresh FNDB (font name database) in MiKTeX Options. It seems that there are some problem with your installation. – Leo Liu Sep 20 '11 at 14:31
  • did that, still nothing. I've never had installation problems of any sort before... – Nate Glenn Sep 20 '11 at 14:40
  • @Nate: Hmm... I use TeX Live. After checking on MiKTeX, I'm sure that in MiKTeX wadalab fonts are not complete. This is a BUG of MiKTeX. I think you can contact Christian Schenk for this problem. Anyway, there are other ways to use Japanese in TeX, see also my previous answer. – Leo Liu Sep 20 '11 at 14:52
  • @Leo, @Nate Yes this is a bug in miktex. Nate sent a minimal example to the mailing list and for this example the complete "virtual font" layer (tfm in udmj + vf) from mincho-0-12-20080306.tar.gz are missing. The example works fine after I installed the missing file. Probably other fonts from wadalab are incomplete too. I will make a bug report. – Ulrike Fischer Sep 21 '11 at 07:42
  • @UlrikeFischer: how did you install the missing fonts? – Nate Glenn Oct 18 '11 at 22:30
  • @Nate: Well I put the missing files (see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3412178&group_id=10783&atid=110783) in a local texmf (http://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/localadditions.html#id552695) in the correct folder (fonts\tfm\..., fonts\vf...) and then updated the FNDB. – Ulrike Fischer Oct 19 '11 at 08:01
  • What does "with proper input encoding will work" mean? – Ian Gregory Mar 19 '12 at 05:26
  • @IanGregory: Say the Japanese encodings, I'm not familar with these encodings. In CJK.txt: ‘dnp’ implements the character order of the Dai Nippon Printing fonts and is only available for JIS and SJIS encoding. – Leo Liu Mar 19 '12 at 05:57
