This package provides Mincho (serif) style fonts. IPA Mincho Font is the equal-width font. IPA P Mincho Font is the propotional font.

In the equal-width font, the fullwidth characters (most CJK characters) occupy exactly twice as much width of the halfwidth characters (normal alphabets and numbers).
