Thanks for your efforts! Regarding translation, Karl already answered
that part.

Cool!
Yes, as far as I remember, italic/bold is unusual in Japanese
typography, isn't it?

It may be worth to branch the original ipa-fonts package from
M17N:fonts and submit your changes back. That way, we have it in _one_
package and it's in an official repository.

Our latest daps version contains a bugfix which lets you set the FOP
config file. However, this is not available in the current released daps
package.
The latest version supports the FOP_CONFIG_FILE environment variable.
Move your FOP configuration file to your SVN working copy and set the
above variable to your file, (re)build the book and it will use the
correct file.
If you are unsure, you can check the value, if you use daps with this
options:
$ daps -d YOUR_DC_FILE showvariable VARIABLE=FOP_CONFIG_FILE
We will release a new package soon which supports this feature.
