If I remember correctly, that excactly were the packages that I removed.
I'm involved with some project, where I want to be sure that no non-free
data find their way into our printed work.
Using jlatex and dvi2ps (_not_ dvips), I get nice looking japanese
PostScript with embedded vector-fonts (maybe the wadalab-font packages,
maybe vflib fonts?). If dvi2ps gets that done, shouldn't other software
as well?
For text printing I use emacs' ps-print configured to use bdf-fonts for
japanese (not very nice-looking, however). After looking at ps-print's
sources I think there must be some way to make it use vflib fonts.
Anybody tried that? Also it seems that ps-print uses low-resolution
bdf-fonts, while there are high-resolution bdf-fonts available (48x48)
in intlfonts/Japanese-BIG. This should look nice, if configured
properly. Anybody with a working configuration? One advantage of
bdf-fonts in postscript is also, that it prints really fast on
postscript printers (where dvi2ps-created documents could take a minute
per page).
