Hello Danai,
Thank you for your quick response.
I have tried installing latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab (I didn't know it
had to be installed) and removing everything but the Japanese from
CJKutf8.tex, and now a dvi is produced which has Japanese text in it.
The same for the JIS.tex from the latex-cjk-japanese package.
It is a bit confusing that the error which occurs when a font is not
installed is a parse error, "Undefined control sequence." - I would
have thought that fonts would not affect actual LaTeX parsing.
There is a remaining problem, which is that I can't convert either of
the dvi files to ps or pdf successfully - all of the Japanese
characters are blank. Am I correct in imagining that the problem is
again one of fonts? If so, what should I install?
By the way, it might be nice to have a Debian package which depends on
everything necessary to get full functionality from latex-cjk. Hard
drives are big enough nowadays that I imagine many users won't mind
the extra space taken up by fonts for languages which they don't
intend to use. It is only a suggestion.
Many thanks,
Frederik
