+(Ref: `Dai' means `Big'. `Nippon' means `Japan'. `Syoseki' means `books'.
+ Ricoh is not only a font maker.)
+
+
+ 1. Syaken Co is the most famous and biggest company dealing with
+ phototypesetting systems and fonts in Japan.
+
+ 2. Syaken does not make PostScript Fonts. Their fonts are used
+ only on Syaken's special phototypesetting machines which many
+ printing companies use.
+
+ 3. Morisawa made Postscript Fonts in cooperation with Adobe Inc.
+ It is famous that their fonts have strong software copy
+ protection.
+
+ 4. There are inexpensive PS fonts called `HEISEI Mincho' and
+ `HEISEI Gothic' made by the Nippon standard association (I
+ don't know the exact English name of this association). These
+ fonts are not so beautiful as Morisawa's PS fonts but cheaper.
+
+ 5. In former times pure PostScript printers only had Morisawa's PS
+ fonts as builtin fonts. Now there are also pure PS printers
+ that use builtin Heisei fonts.
+
+ 6. The dvi2ps program outputs Morisawa's font metrics.
+
+
+This document contains no information about the relation about ASCII Nihongo
+TeX and Syaken's phototypesetting machines.
