jf disk set

This disk set contains bitmap and vector fonts for Japanese TeX and the X window system. Note that Japanese PK fonts are NOT necessary if you decide to go with vector fonts.

(1) TeX requires Computer Modern fonts of ``cmf118'' or ``cmf180'' depending on the resolution of your printer. If other fonts with different resolutions are required, you have to find them in the net or make them by yourself using the Metafont system.

(2) Most Japanese TeX systems also require DNP fonts designed by a printing company called ``Dai-Nippon Printing''. Although you can buy DNP fonts for TeX from them, free alternatives are available in JE as Watanabe's jfonts, and Zeit compatible vector font sets. The authors recommend the use of vector fonts to save your disk space. In addition, if you have better CPU than 386 SX, the use of the vector fonts results in better speed, because it is faster to read smaller fonts from disks.

(3) ``asiya24'', ``hokuto24'', and ``kfonts'' are PK (bitmap) fonts for dviout/prt. These are not necessary if you decide to use the vector font set.

(4) ``vmincho1/2'', ``vasiya1/2'', and ``vhokuto'' are Zeit compatible vector fonts for TeX (dviout/prt, xdvi) and Japanese Ghostscript. You can buy the original Zeit font from Zeit, a Japanese software vender, or you can get free alternatives here in JE.

(5) ``xfnt??'' and ``xmarufnt'' are Japanese fonts for the X-window system. Make sure to execute mkfontdir in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc after you install any of them.
