Hello,

I have a text file with Japanese characters that I need to convert to postscript. I have a little program that creates a postscript file for English, but it is having trouble with the double-byte characters.

I have taken a very simple file with a couple asian characters and did a print to file to see what the post script looked like, and it is exponentially more complicated than what I am doing for the English.

I am looking for something generic that I can wrap around my Japanese, so that it will print correctly.

Any help would be most appreciated,

Thanks,
Brian
