Hi, Thanks for your note. If I use platex instead, there is a *slight* improvement in the sense that advi will properly interpret the .dvi file (this doesn't happen with jlatex). advi has built-in fonts I believe which highlights your point that jlatex just isn't outputting a proper .dvi file at all. dvi2ps and dvips still have troubles interacting with vflib3 so I suppose I can assume the texlive distribution for japanese is currently (and hopefully temporarily) broken. I'll figure out an alternative. Thanks again!
