Re: switch to texlive breaks japanese output?
Hi,
jlatex has different arrangements for dvi file, and you will need some
tweaking to get it working with advi. jlatex tries to fit in Kanji
codes with the 8 bit architecture of latex with shuffling fonts
around, which you probably don't really want to know the detail of.
dvi output from platex works okay with advi.
No idea why you are trying to achieve with playing with vflib3, so I
can't tell.

You may want to file bugs to the appropriate packages with exact error

Is this related ?

Sounds more like configuration problem, but you probably want to be
