They're *gorgeous*. I have a beautiful sample page of Kanji (the style is whatever the Japanese call the equivalent of Chinese Kai-Shu). The biggest problem that I know about is a technical one--they need new versions of PostScript that support composite fonts, and I gather they take up more memory than most current PostScript printers have... There may also be licensing issues, since I would imagine a Japanese company (NEC, maybe) cooperated with Adobe in the development (the page I have is off of an NEC printer). -- Amanda Walker <amanda@intercon.com> "Tobacco is the only drug in America that will kill you if it's taken as directed." --Dr. C.
