|
72 ftp://ftp.ipl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Font/ |
|
73 |
|
74 along with documentation in Japanese and English describing their conditions of use and how to use them. An older copy of these fonts, under |
|
75 somewhat different names, is available at the Ghostscript site: |
|
76 |
|
77 ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/kanji/ |

|
80 installation instructions, is at |
|
