I understand now, but without any solid reference (actual character
charts) except those in KUTEN index encoding, I had to find my way to
the end solution in a less than optimal manner. Using the files as you
intended is much easier once I know exactly what they do.

Thanks for the explanation, my book,JIP (1995), confused me on pp77-83
by dealing with the various implementations, as EUC is quite "rich".

Happy to help, I've learnt a lot in the process!

I see. So I was lucky that the subfont did not change.

Done!

I'll continue in another thread, perhaps my ideas are incorrect here.
