Adobe today
announced that it's started shipping the Japanese version of InDesign.
InDesign-J 1.0 is a page layout and design application developed
exclusively for professional publishing in Japan, including support
for Japanese text, fonts and grid-based layout.
InDesign-J
is based on the extensible code base of InDesign. It includes
a majority of the features from the most recent version of InDesign,
as well as numerous features that support both traditional Japanese
and Roman layouts, Japanese typesetting, Japanese fonts, text
editing, color management and output. It provides a layout methodology
specific to Japanese fonts and allows users to manage a precise
number of characters for text editing on a desktop computer (both
Macintosh and Windows).
InDesign-J
1.0 sells for about $840. For more information, visit http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/japan.html.
