[kubuntu 10.04] xdvik-ja: The DVI file including Japanese character(kanji, hiragana and katakana) is garbled.

[HAMANO Kiyoto]

Binary package hint: xdvik-ja

The DVI file including Japanese characters(kanji, hiragana and katakana) is garbled.
I tried a following commands.

$ sudo apt-get install vim # for edit a latex file.
$ sudo apt-get install nkf # for convert a character code.
$ sudo apt-get install texlive "^ptex-*" xdvik-ja dvipdfmx gv gs-cjk-resources "^cmap-adobe-*" okumura-clsfiles
$ sudo jisftconfig add
$ vim hello.tex # edit a tex file.
$ nkf --overwirte -e hello.tex # convert a character code to EUC-JP
$ platex -kanji=euc hello.tex # compile a tex file.
$ xdvi hello.dvi

hello.tex contents are as follows.

<pre>
\documentclass[a4paper]{jsarticle}
\begin{document}
Hello, World ハローワールド 日本語のテスト
\end{document}

</pre>

I attach a screenshot of xdvi.

My environment:
 Kubuntu 10.04 (i686)
 Language: Japanese
 VirtualBox 3.1.8
 xdvik-ja: 22.84.13-j1.34-2.1

Hi,

Please run "sudo update-vfontmap" and check your "/var/lib/texmf.d/vfontmap".

Thanks, for your comment.
I tried `sudo update-vfontmap', But the results were same.

This is fontconfig's problem.

In 10.04, result of "fc-match serif:lang=ja" is following:
 DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"

Therefore, update-vfontmap specified DejaVu (English) to use font for rml.

This is not bug of xdvik-ja. so I close it. thanks
