Japanese OpenType font, all IPAex Fonts

IPAex Fonts are JIS X 0213:2004 compliant OpenType fonts based on TrueType outlines provided by Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA) from 2010. The older JIS X 0213:2000 font gliphs are also supported via IVS (Ideographic Variation Sequence). These are suitable for both display and printing.

These new fonts are developed from IPA Fonts to provide the best balance for the Japanese documentation mixed with Western characters by following Japanese printing tradition. Japanese characters (Kanji, Kana and punctuation marks) are full width mono-space pitch, and Western characters are proportional pitch.

This metapackage depends on fonts-ipaexfont-{mincho,gothic} packages to provide IPAex Mincho and IPAex Gothic Fonts.
