Hi Muto,

Thank you very much for your instruction. Now, all problems are solved.

    One thing: can configure debian printer with truetype font but other
utilities still with bitmap fonts? After all, truetype fonts for wide
chars - i.e. CJK- show a bit obscure on screen. If possible, how should
I do?

    Thank you for your help again.
