My question is: how did Japenese users make it with Debian prior to the
introduction of these packages? Couldn't they continue using whatever
methods worked then?
According to the descriptions of the cmap files, they are only useful for
TrueType fonts. Given that TrueType isn't exactly the default or preferred
format for PostScript, why is this such a critical problem?
