Well, it might not help you, but the Kawasaki font (Mac) found on MacTheKnife
vol 2 does have katakana.  Though the quality of the font is not of correspon-
dence quality, it might serve to make posters/signs/quick memos/etc.

Further, you could take a font editor, like FONTastic and move around the
kana until it conforms to the Japan Standard keyboard.
