Hey, Mike. I printed the Japanese google homepage to a
file and passed it to gs as you stated. GS diplayed
boxes just like it did when they were printed out.
Standard output gave me lots of the following:
--------------------
Scanning /usr/share/fonts/ for fonts... 0 files, 0
scanned, 0 new fonts.
Can't find (or can't open) font file
/usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/Font/Ryumin
-Light-EUC-H.
Can't find (or can't open) font file
Ryumin-Light-EUC-H.
Substituting font Courier for Ryumin-Light-EUC-H.
---------------------
I also did the grep command you gave me on the output
file. I got no output from the grep it whatsoever.

I'm curious about the font embedding you mentioned.
Did you mean that GS will either attempt to embed a
font into a ps document before it is rendered or will
attempt to either load the requested font or make a
substitution when the font is not available to GS? Is
this the primary function of ghostscript-cjk?

Thanks for the hand-holding, Mike.

Mike
