   You can make postscript fonts, but that does not solve the problem of making
   your printer use them. Probably you will have to print via Ghostscript to do
   this. There are postscript fonts
   available for Ghostscript that are probably higher quality than fonts converted
   by one of those programs, if you want to do it this way. I think there is a
   HOWTO on the ghostscript
   WWW site about setting up ghostscript with Japanese fonts.

   Setting `bdf-directory-list' to the list of directories containing the intlfonts
   BDF fonts will
   be simpler, although if you print Japanese often you might find the better quality
   of the Ghostscript fonts is worth it.

I think I do not have such a directory - do I have to create one with fstobdf?
and then where can I set `bdf-directory-list'? Is it this setq syntax in .emacs ?

[gerd@anterio QA]$ locate bdf
