Description Tammy Fox 2002-01-24 22:54:07 UTC 
If lang is set to ja, ko, zh_cn, or zh_tw, the PS
or PDF outputs are not correct. Ghostscript can
convert PS to PDF fine if the PS has correct fonts,
so it would be ideal if docbook2ps foo.sgml worked.

Note to self: compare with HTML output, and remember to set correct character
encoding in browser.
Comment 6 Tammy Fox 2002-01-25 19:41:42 UTC 
The attached file testing-ja.sgml should have the lang set to ja, not ja_JP.
Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2002-01-26 18:55:28 UTC 
It does the same thing via PassiveTeX.  I've asked the jadetex maintainer about it.
Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2002-02-19 15:02:42 UTC 
This seems to be hard to fix. :-(

When trying to build (for example) a format file for JadeTeX with pTeX, I get
errors that suggest that babel isn't available: but I can't figure out why not.
