	I want to use oriental languages in troff but I don't want to reinvent 
the wheel.  Rather, I want to ask if there is any way I can control standard
C/A/T troff or device independent troff to use my character set, specifically mycharacter set is going to be multibyte.  I guess it requires at least some 
knowledge in troff font format.
	Any ideas?  Thank you.
