That's good to hear -- I haven't received feedback about this section yet.
JC> The problem I have is whether I really have to create entries for all

You only need entries for encodings that are actually used under your
system. In the case of recent Unix-like systems such as Linux and
FreeBSD, you will need JIS X 201, JIS X 208, JIS X 212, and optionally
Unicode.
Make sure you pair XLFD names with the correct CMaps. See the
``registry'' file included under xc, or the encodings.dir file
included under fonts/encodings, for the proper XLFD encoding names to
use.
(XLFD is the name of the funky way of describing a font with fourteen
dashes in it. An XLFD encoding name consists of the last two fields
of the XLFD -- it's a string such as ``jisx0201.1976-0''.)

Thanks for volunteering.
