Thank you.  I will take a look.

The process predates my hiring, but I will ask.

Google Type 1 Postscript Fonts Japanese.
I saw some links there.

You may also want to *try* TTF font like MS Mincho. No guarantees but some changes were made a while back that allowed for TTF fonts in Postscript. We have not fully certified this for all cases and do not include that in the documentation.

But, why not produce PDF directly? Why Postscript to distill?

Thank you for the verification.

Are you aware of any Japanese fonts that are supported for PS?

Here are the lines in question

    <!-- Simplified Chinese and Japanese fonts -->

<font-group xml:base="file:/C:/Windows/Fonts/" label="OpenType">
      <font-family name="AdobeSongStd-Light">
        <font><font-data otf="AdobeSongStd-Light.otf"/></font>
</font-family>
      <font-family name="KozMinPr6N-Regular">
        <font><font-data otf="KozMinPr6N-Regular.otf"/></font>

      <font-family name="KozMinProVI-Regular">
        <font><font-data otf="KozMinProVI-Regular.otf"/></font>
</font-family>
</font-group>

Font-mappings.xml is the font file used by the XEP implementation we have.  I don’t know how old it is, but we’re using DITA OT 1.5.4

Here’s the relevant section:

                        <physical-font char-set="default">

                        <physical-font char-set="Simplified Chinese">
                                <font-face>AdobeSongStd-Light</font-face>

Please send the relevant entries in xep.xml.

What is font-mappings.xml? Is this something you have done or are you working with very old XEP?

Subject: [xep-support] Japanese fonts in PS files

I have been trying for a week to include Japanese fonts in a PS doc, for later conversion via Acrobat Distiller, but for some reason, I cannot.

Is there a simple workaround I am missing?  The fonts I want are in both my font-mappings.xml and xep.xml files.
