- I use TrueType Japanese Fonts which are supplied from Apple Japan. Adobe Japan
- sells ATM-J and Japanese Postscript (screen) fonts for ATM-J. By using these fonts,
- you can get good output of any Japanese document from a StyleWrter, DeskWriter and
- others. I recommend you TrueType-J because Adobe's J-fonts have very strong
- copy protections. But I do not know how to purchase them in U.S.A., sorry.
- As for MSWord, it does not match Kanji perfectly while it works as an English word
- processor under a Japanese system. So, it is better to use EG Word (now ver. 5.0)
- or other Japanese word processor to print Japanese characters.
