Japanese support for Acrobat 7



Hello. This may be non-debian specific, but I'd better ask.

I downloaded Acrobat 7 for Linux, and installed it in sid. 

Although Adobe's website does not provide Japanese Kit for Linux for this
version, I used the Kit for version 5.x, and modifying the installation
script:

--- INSTLANG    2005-03-23 17:19:02.000000000 +0900
+++ INSTLANG~   2002-08-10 09:40:21.000000000 +0900

      read Version < "$dir/Reader/AcroVersion"
      -  if [ 1 -lt "expr "$Version" : '7.*'" ]
      +  if [ 1 -lt "expr "$Version" : '5.*'" ]
         then
	      echo " "
              echo "Installing..."
		   

I was able to install it and read files with Japanese text. 

But I'm not able to print them. I have a Xerox Phaser 6201J. I'm using CUPS.
Didn't find a ppd file for that printer, but I've been using an Apple 
LaserWriter v23.0 succesfully from woody (with Acrobat 5.x, and any other
application). 

I installed gs-cjk-resource, the fonts (ttf-kochi-mincho ttf-kochi-gothic), 
restarted CUPS, restarted Acrobat, but nothing. Japanese fonts do appear,
but occassionally they are superimposed, so you cannot really read. (Not
that I understand much Japanese anyway!)

Am I missing something? Suggestions? 

Thanks,

       						Victor
