Abstract

To build a Japanese TEX system on UNIX, we need not only teTEX which is popular in Europe and the United States, but also many files which are developed in Japan and released one by one. It is annoying to handle these files because their installation process is not standardized. So we develop a Japanese TEX distribution ‘ptetex3’: we gather such files, modify them to work together, fold them in a file, and release it as an open source software. Recently more and more people begin to use ‘ptetex3’ and some Japanese Linux distributions have adopted as their TEX system. In this paper, we present our mission statement, report our activities, and examine why ‘ptetex3’ comes to be general.
