Does anyone have any solid information as to what is happening with development for Japanese(kanji) postscript? I have been hearing rumors for many months with no solid reports on progress or dates. I have spoken to Apple Japan who says they have tested alpha versions but can not say when a presentable product will be out. Actually they point the finger at Adobe saying that they are simply waiting for Adobe to come out with the fonts. I have also heard that Adobe is working with a major Japanese firm(Morisawa?), who develops typefaces, but this is information from some time ago. I am particularly interested in using Japanese postscript with a Macintosh running Japanese language software networked in a decnet environment using the VAX as a file and printer server. The printers will be QMS 800 IIs and 810s. regards, Norio Furuya
