Kanruby

This package provides macros for typesetting kunten, the reading marks used to read Kanbun (Classical Chinese texts) in Japanese, in horizontal and vertical writing with upLaTeX (or pLaTeX). It allows fine-grained control over the size and position of the marks placed around the kanji, and includes METAFONT sources for some glyphs used only in Kanbun.

The package is a UTF-8 and Unicode-compatible update (2026) of a package the author released earlier; the former support for the Konjaku Mojikyo fonts has been removed. It can handle typesetting from high-school Kanbun textbooks with notes and images up to academic editions.

See also kanbun and gckanbun.
