Hi,
I'm having trouble converting Japanese Docbook/XML documents to PDF. I
have attached a very simple test document as an example (you can also
download it from http://fgouget.free.fr/tmp/docbook/foo.xml in case it
gets mangled in the mail).
I have tried many toolchains but the best I got is a document where the
Japanese text looks like this:
Japanese: ウィザード
I have also checked with a third party PDF document to make sure my xpdf
was able to display Japanese characters and it is. I suspect the problem
is in the TeX to PDF conversion, perhaps something to do with missing
fonts, but I have no idea how to fix it. If someone could put me on the
right track I would be grateful.
Here are the commands I have tested (using Debian testing):
* with dblatex 0.2-2
dblatex -o foo-dblatex.pdf foo.xml
See: http://fgouget.free.fr/tmp/docbook/foo-dblatex.pdf
* with fop 0.20.5-8
$ xsltproc -o foo-fop1.fo
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl foo.xml
Making portrait pages on USletter paper (8.5inx11in)
$ fop -fo foo-fop-docbook.fo -pdf foo-fop-docbook.pdf

But in the end I do get a PDF file, except the Japanese line looks
like this:

$ pdftex foo-db2latex.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

(./foo-db2latex.tex
! Undefined control sequence.
l.7 \documentclass
[pdftex,,a4paper,10pt,twoside,openright,]{report}
And I get no pdf.
My LaTeX backend is TeTex:
tetex-base 3.0.dfsg.3-5
tetex-bin 3.0-30
tetex-extra 3.0.dfsg.3-5
tex-common 1.0.1
Maybe I need to switch to another LaTeX package like jtex (how?) or Texlive?
