There are some font package that put .otf files under /usr/share/fonts/opentype
directory, and I guess the problem you say is dvips specific issue, right?
So it's not for otf-ipaexfont but problem in dvips (dvipsk-ja?) setting.
Is it hard to add search path for /usr/share/fonts/opentype/* to dvips
by default? (or cause any problem?)
