jlatex, dvips, fonts...

[B0Ti <9915104t@example.com>]

Evening,

Again, I spent a whole afternoon trying to get japanese working with
tex, dvips, etc.
Obviously I'm having problems with fonts (or font generation):
[boti@example.com textest]$ dvi2ps -d ja_test.dvi
open fontdesc /usr/share/texmf/dvi2ps/fontdesc
@(#)dvi2ps 3.0a1
Prescanning .trying to access ./dmjkf10.1037pk
trying to access /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/dmjkf10.1037pk
trying to access /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/dviout/dmjkf10.1037pk
No font file for dmjkf10 (mag 1728)
...

Similarly in dvips I get font (generation) errors:

boti@example.com textest]$ dvips ja_test.dvi

kpathsea: Running mktexmf  dmjkf10
! I can't find file `dmjkf10'.
<*> ...g:=magstep(3.0); nonstopmode; input dmjkf10

I have the dmjkf10 font in TFM format:

[boti@example.com textest]$ kpsewhich dmjkf10.tfm
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/mling/nttsub/dmjkf10.tfm

I also tried platex, it also bails out with similar font errors.
xdvi-ja gives a segfault, I assume it's font problems too (and a badly
written program).
What do I need to do for all this to work? How do I get mktexpk to
generate the fonts?
HELP!
