Re: Newbie questions...
G'day,
You neeed at least gs-cjk-resource
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/gs-cjk-resource.html
The package page reccommends the font files you need for Japanese, and
you also need at least cmap-adobe-japan1.

They are also contained in the emacs-intl-fonts package, in which case
they will go directly into the directory emacs expects to find them
in, and the only set-up you need is:
(setq ps-multibyte-buffer 'bdf-font)
