The dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) project provides an eXtended version of the dvipdfm, a DVI to PDF translator developed by Mark A. Wicks. The primary goal of this project is to support multi-byte character encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages by CID-keyed font technology. The secondary goal is to support as many features as pdfTeX developed by Han The Thanh. This project is a combined work of the dvipdfm-jpn project by Shunsaku Hirata and its modified one, dvipdfm-kor, by Jin-Hwan Cho.
