This is pTeX, TeX system with Japanese support.
This system is based on teTeX 1.0.7 which contains TeX, LaTeX2e, and
various other TeX related programs.
By installing this package, pTeX uses Shift-JIS for output to terminal
and log files. Shift-JIS and JIS can be used in input files.
Note: Some of the features provided by teTeX may not work with
Japanese language, even though The TeX and LaTeX2e are able to handle
Japanese. Use ptex and platex respectively.)
Note: xdvi and dvips, which are part of teTeX package, are not
included in this packages since they are not localized for Japanese.
Use corresponding ports/packages in the japanese category.

Upgrade to 3.1.2.
Now charset to be used can be specified at runtime, instead of compile time.
Due to this change, charset specific ports are being removed, and pTeX now
consists of two ports: ptex-base and ptex.
Ptex-base is what used to be ptex-common, which installs non-Japanese portion of
the system, and ptex is what used to be the charset specific portion, which
installs Japanese specific files.
Thus, ptex-common and ptex-euc are renamed to ptex-base and ptex respectively,
and ptex-jis and ptex-sjis are being removed.
Use ${PREFIX} instead of ${LOCALBASE} to specify the dependencies. It just
doesn't make sense to use ${LOCALBASE}, as if ${PREFIX} is altered to other
than ${LOCALBASE}, ptex-common (the dependency) is likely to be installed in
the same alternate location.
Upgrade japanese/ptex-* from 2.1.8 to 2.1.10. This upgrade eliminates
japanese/platex-{common,euc,jis,sjis} ports since ptex includes pLaTeX2e since
2.1.9.
