I can really recommend the use of KDE 3.0 and Konqueror! As I posted earlier, Qt 3.0 can embed TTF fonts in PS files, so printing of CJK documents (e.g. a webpage) is no problem anymore.

Thats what I have: SUSE 8.0 with KDE3. But no success with Konqueror. Do I have to add more fonts? I think I have all (including Ghost with japanese support).
If you use TTF fonts with Konqueror, you don't need Japanese fonts for
Ghostscript because, as Arne writes, Konqueror embeds the fonts in the
PS files, similar like CJK-LaTeX does.
But in order to do that, you need to use scalable fonts (TTF or Type1)
with Konqueror, it won't work if you use bitmap fonts for Japanese.
Please have a look at
http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/kde-font-setup.html
choose some scalable western fonts you like in the font setup of
Konqueror and use qtconfig to add Japanese TrueType fonts (for example
'Kochi Mincho' or 'Kochi Gothic') as substitutes for these fonts.
You can also directly select Japanese TrueType fonts like
'Kochi Mincho' in Konqueror, but that is not so nice if you
also want to view German pages, many Japanese TrueType fonts
lack German umlauts and most Japanese TrueType fonts are not
so beautiful in the latin part as scalable fonts which
are specialized on latin scripts. So it is better to choose
latin fonts in Konqueror and set Japanese fonts as substitutes
with qtconfig.
Remember that you *must* use scalable fonts if you want Qt3 to embed
the fonts into the PostScript output! If you use bitmap fonts, Qt3
will put references to Japanese PostScript fonts into the PostScript
output. To print such PostScript without embedded fonts, you need
Japanese fonts for Ghostscript.
I guess your are currently using bitmap fonts for Japanese in KDE.
With your current settings, if you print to a file with Konqueror
instead directly to a printer and then call 'gs' on the created file,
you will probably find that Ghostscript wants to load the Japanese
font Ryumin-Light. This happens if you use Japanese bitmap fonts in
Konqueror.
