Hi...

        First off, this is a *very* minor issue for me, one that most people 
wouldn't even worry about.  However, not being most people, I am 
wondering what is required to get printed output of Web pages, e-mails, 
etc. containing Asian fonts to look like it does on screen.  (Note: I 
cannot even read any Asian languages!  I just feel that if I can *see* 
it, I should be able to print it.  I work in the quick-printing industry; 
maybe that has something to do with it.  :)
        If, for instance, I go to the Japanese version of the Gentoo Weekly News, 
Konqueror displays a lot of Japanese characters -- as one would expect.  
If I try to print the page, however, I get a jumble of ASCII characters 
that does not look pretty.  Examining the PostScript produced shows this:  
"% Asian postscript font requested. Using Verdana-Bold-H"

        So, after about an hour of Googling and not finding much of relevance, I 
thought I would ask here for advice or suggestions.  Is there a package I 
should emerge, or a setting I should change, that would help here?  I'll 
appreciate any information someone could provide!

        (Next time I'm bored, maybe I'll try printing in Arabic...  I just think 
it's fun to be able to do this stuff, even if I don't need to.)
