According to Lunde's book, RKSJ stands for Roman, (half-width) Kana and
Shift-JIS. This means that it also has single-byte half-width Katakana
in it. The Roman and half-width Kana are from JIS X 0201-1976.

Is it really all of ISO 10646-1:2000? Or just the JIS X 020[18]
character sets, in UCS-2 encoding?

Are you sure there are Hiragana in there?

Half-width Hiragana? Seems unlikely to me.

The JISX0208.19xx fonts in the X world are normally only used for
horizontal layout. You would probably need to use some other XLFD field
for the vertical fonts (or just skip those for now).

I may be misunderstanding the machinery that you are going to use, but
if you are going to use the encoding as is, then RKSJ is definitely not
the same as JISX0208.1983. RKSJ is in Shift-JIS encoding. Or does the
machinery take care of transcoding from JISX0208.1983-0 to RKSJ?

EUC has the 8th bit on both bytes set to one, so it is JISX0208.1983-1,
which is deprecated, so you might want to just skip this one.

UTF8 is not the same as ISO10646-1.

It does contain accented Latin characters, but I don't know whether the
Adobe fonts contain glyphs for those.
