I stand corrected (again).

But if you look into the PostScript file and figure out what name is used
for the font, you should be able to alias it in kconfig.ps to min and
goth, so that you don't need to keep the Wadalab fonts around anymore.  As
far as I know, Japanese Postscript fonts consist entirely of square
blocks, so they're pretty much interchangeable.  That's why the early
versions of VFlib could _only_ cope with _kanji/kana_ TrueType fonts,
because processing them is so straightforward. 

I'm curious now.  Can you send me privately a copy of Postscript output
from your NTT-JTeX system? 

Cheers,
