Hi, I am interested in hearing from anyone who has had experience with
using Kanji with Postscript.  Information on either the 2 byte type, or
using 1 byte kana codes would be great.

Postscript seems a natural choice for typesetting Kanji, as you can stream
the characters out serially, and have them easlily rotated to proper vertical
form.  My other alternative is GKS/CGM, and I'd rather not have to do that.

Thanks, any comments happily accepted.
