No, you need printing too, right?  If just electronic text is enough,
mule is all you need.

There are no working programs to print out of a released Emacs,
unfortunately; there's a beta "ps-print.el" that works with Emacs
20.2.93 or so, and possibly with XEmacs 21, but ....

If you want pretty docs, you probably need pTeX and the rest; and
Ghostscript with VFlib.  There are some text file filters and
Dp-note, a shareware Japanese wordprocessor too.
