I have a latex file that contains Japanese characters, in UTF8. I want to turn it into a PDF or PostScript, showing the Japanese.
Currently, I can compile the latex, and otain a DVI file. But when I want to display or convert it (with dvips, for instance), I get errors of the form "mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for xxx".
I am running LaTex on my company's Linux machines (so I don't have sysadmin privileges; but I can ask the sysadmin to do whatever is necessary).
I am using the CJK package, and I installed some fonts (Kanji48 and IPA) in my ~/texmf directory, following instructions found here: http://www-alg.ist.hokudai.ac.jp/~jan/japfonts.html
And this will get the latex to compile, but the resulting DVI is useless.
What else do I need to do? How do I make the fonts available to mktexpk?
I don't much care what font I use, as long as it displays some Japanese.
I prefer that the font works with UTF8 input; but if I have to give it JIS encoding, that can probably be arranged.
Many thanks
