Thank you for your quick reply. In the above example neither IPAMincho
nor Sazanami Mincho (Regular) are loaded correctly. I get several
lines of

simplefonts   : font 'sazanamiminchoregular' not found

interspersed with

! fonts   : font database matches configuration and file hashes

The simplefonts message ignores spaces and caps... Any ideas?

Thank you.
Severin
