Help! I'd go with UCS2, since that is the same as ISO10646-1. > And I have no clue what CMaps map to the JIS 02xx standards. Maybe > Adobe has some documentation on this? Ken Lunde's book has a lot of info about this. RKSJ, Add and Hiragana are probably the wrong ones to use for X's JIS X 02xx. Hankaku may match JIS X 0201 exactly. What are the other names available?
