I'm not sure what format of Japanese fonts you're looking for, but Mark's Own Kanji Editor by Mark Edwards (edwards@macc.wisc.edu) contains the JIS 1 and 2 level kanji fonts (covering about 6000 kanji between them). I've been playing with MOKE a bit (version 1.1) and have gotten it to work but with a few bugs, though I won't rule out the possibility that it's misinstalled. I've used the printer driver for a 24-pin Epson with my 9-pin Panasonic with mixed results (but I've gotten it to print the characters, which I never thought I'd see this side of a Mac). Now I'm just trying to remember where I ftp'd it...(Sorry) I haven't followed up on the bugs because I think Edwards was planning to write a version 2, to be released commercially, as I recall. Maybe that's out, I don't know. In any case, much of MOKE, he says, depends on the programs developed in Japan to read JUNET mail, etc., e.g. SKK by masahiko @sato.rice.tohoku.junet. These too have the JIS fonts and the .exe to put the kanji on the screen, though they are for reading mail, not editing. I also saw a note the other day about a commercially available wordprocessor, EW+ (could this be a port of EGWord on the MAC? Must call the folks, they are right here in town...) from Information Technology Laboratory, Inc, at 415 Madison Ave., 19th floor, New York, NY 10017, phone 212/832-5300. I'd like to hear about any other editors (or successes or failures with them) myself... ------------Michael Flory (mjf@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu)

You can get it from: (1) 128.214.12.3 (chyde.uwasa.fi) AT: pc/editor/ (2) 131.11.11.11 (? tokyo) AT: ? (3) 141.211.164.8 (?) AT: ? For using Japanese fonts only, you can get the KD100.ARC program from 128.32.232.19 (mindseye.berkeley.edu) AT: /pub/kanji/ It is a Kanji Driver that can be used for reading Jap mail; it comes with C source which proved to be very useful to me for understanding font formats and ordering (note that MOKE has adopted KD's fonts).
