[RFC PATCH v2 2/7] docs: pdfdocs: Add CJK-language-specific font settings

From: Akira Yokosawa
Date: Mon Jul 19 2021 - 07:12:43 EST


ko_KR and ja_JP translations have their preferred glyph sets
different from that of zh_CN.

To switch CJK font in the middle of the translations, introduce custom
LaTeX macros listed below:

\kerneldocBeginSC
\kerneldocEndSC
\kerneldocBeginKR
\kerneldocEndKR
\kerneldocBeginJP
\kerneldocEndJP

Note that CJKmainfont is changed to "Noto Serif CJK SC" as it suits well
with the roman font of Latin letters.

As for Korean translations, inter-phrase spaces in Hangul text can be
preserved by the \xeCJKsetup{CJKspace=true} option.

As for monospace font, employing "Noto Sans Mono CJK SC" globally
will result in sub-optimal look of literal blocks in Latin documents
due to its rather tight width.
So, localize the font choice by adding conf.py under
Documentation/translations/.
The additional conf.py is enabled when the command:

make SPHINXDIRS=translations pdfdocs

is used to build the PDF.
Resulting translations.pdf (under Documentation/output/translations/pdf)
will have properly aligned ascii-art figures except for those in Korean
translations.

NOTE 1: Korean ascii-art figures' mis-alignment is due to the fact that
Hangul characters in "Noto Sans Mono CJK KR" are slightly narrower than
Hanja characters.

NOTE 2: Custom macros added here do not imply \kerneldocCJK{on|off}.
This is intentional. For example, \kerneldocCJKoff needs to be
at the top of Italian translations' index.rst for the footer of
final zh_CN page to be properly typeset.

NOTE 3: Actual implementation of added macros has rooms to improve.
