PXchfon Package

LaTeX: Japanese font setup for pLaTeX and upLaTeX

This package enables users to declare in their document which physical
fonts should be used for the standard Japanese (logical) fonts of pLaTeX
and upLaTeX. Font setup is realized by changing the font mapping of
dvipdfmx, and thus users can use any (monospaced) physical fonts they
like, once they properly install this package, without creating helper
files for each new fonts. This package also supports setup for the fonts
used in the japanese-otf package.
