G'day, Do you have installed: dvips-fontdata-n2bk, which includes: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/n2bk/dmjhira12.vf ?
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=dmjhira&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386 I also have installed: cjk-latex, dvipsk-ja, xdvik-ja, jtex-bin, dvips-fontdata-n2bk, dvi2ps-fontdata-ja, gs-cjk-resource I am not sure how many of them you actually need. > Dear debian-japanese latex users, > > When compiling Japanese latex files, cjk-latex can't find the right > font files.

Anyone have a suggestion? Note however that the SJIS example file still doesn't work for me, as I don't have the haldwidth kana fonts <sokana> and don't know where they can be found. As I never create deliberately create SJIS files I haven't investigated further. > Yorosiku onegai simasu, If the above file works, could you please add the information to the bug page? I like the idea of CJK-latex suggesting the package.
