I don't think you're likely to come across Japanese PostScript documents
that call on the Wadalab fonts directly.  Instead they will normally call
a Japanese Postscript font by one of the two names on the _left_ side in
kconfig.ps.  The patched Ghostscript then uses that file to match this
name to a "physical" font, which is _again_ aliased in the vfontcap file: 
kconfig.ps is just the first step in the font search.

Every document you come across should use your TrueType font (to set
text that is nominally in Japanese Postscript).

Hope this helps,
