Regarding the virtual font generation, there were 2 suggestions. After having read up on virtual fonts, here I go:
1. for Unicode support create dgjhwff to do a mapping from the SJIS dgjhw font. So I am guessing that means a dgjhwff.tfm and a dgjhwff.vf, created from an edited version of dgjhw.pl where a MAPFONT and for each character a MAP entry has been added. I confirmed that to be the case (see below). 2. modify the udmjff.vf and udmjff.tfm to incorporate the half-width katakana directly, by converting the vf to vpl, editing it, and creating new vf and tfm files. I converted udmjff.vf to pl and checked that the mapping is taking place as I expected. I also found the encoding as DNPUNICODE, so I wonder if that means I can use sfd2uni.pl with Unicode.sfd as the sfd-file and DNPUNICODE as the coding scheme? I may have to try by hand first and compare output from the various utility scripts while I struggle to understand which encoding files are needed. I will try first option 1 to check, and when it works then option 2.
