Ok, I made some Japanese fonts for Plan9, which includes 10x10, 12x10,
14x14, 20x20, 32x32, 40x40, 48x48 dotts, and going to put those to our
web page (http://basalt.cias.osakafu-u.ac.jp/plan9/p9index.html).

To use those fonts, you may want to edit your /lib/font/bit/pelm/unicode.*.font
or /lib/font/bit/lucida/unicode.*.font files.  The 14x14 font will fit best to
pelm/unicode.8.font...

In my case, I editted as follows:

lucidasans/unicode.6.font	for 10x10 Kanji
lucida/unicode.5.font		for 12x10 kanji
lucida/unicode.6.font		for 14x14 kanji
lucida/unicode.7.font		for 16x16 kanji
lucida/unicode.8.font		for 20x20 kanji
lucida/unicode.10.font		for 24x24 kanji
lucida/unicode.14.font		for 32x32 kanji
lucida/unicode.16.font		for 40x40 kanji
lucida/unicode.20.font		for 48x48 kanji

Some of those will not fit just to the dot size of JIS Kanji, and I tried the most
nearest one.

(EXAMPLE 1)
I editted also font definitions of rdhtml.c of mothra (Miller's 3ed patch + my
Japanese patch) as follows:

typedef struct Fontdata Fontdata;
struct Fontdata{
	char *name;
	Font *font;
	int space;
}fontlist[2][4][4]={
	"lucidasans/latin1.6", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/latin1.7", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/latin1.10", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/latin1.13", 0, 0,

	"lucidasans/italiclatin1.6", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/italiclatin1.7", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/italiclatin1.10", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/italiclatin1.13", 0, 0,

	"lucidasans/boldlatin1.6", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/boldlatin1.7", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/boldlatin1.10", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/boldlatin1.13", 0, 0,

	"lucidasans/typelatin1.6", 0, 0,
	"lucidasans/typelatin1.7", 0, 0,
	"pelm/ascii.12", 0, 0,
	"pelm/ascii.16", 0, 0,

	"lucida/unicode.6", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.7", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.10", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.14", 0, 0,

	"lucida/unicode.6", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.7", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.10", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.14", 0, 0,

	"lucida/unicode.6", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.7", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.10", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.14", 0, 0,

	"lucida/unicode.6", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.7", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.10", 0, 0,
	"lucida/unicode.14", 0, 0,

};

Yes, I got good results for our above mentioned UTF-8/Japanese EUC web page.


(EXAMPLE 2)
For charon, I defined those fonts as follows (in appl/charon/charon_gui.b)

init()
{
	#shannon_gui=load Shannon_GUI Shannon_GUI->PATH;
	#if(shannon_gui==nil)
	#	CU->raise(sys->sprint("Exinternal: couldn't load Shannon_GUI:%r"));
	#shannon_gui->init();

	CtlFnt=1;
	fonts=array[NumFnt] of {
	FntR*NumSize+Tiny => Fontinfo("/fonts/lucidasans/unicode.6.font", nil, 0),
	FntR*NumSize+Small => ("/fonts/lucida/unicode.6.font", nil, 0),
	FntR*NumSize+Normal => ("/fonts/lucida/unicode.7.font", nil, 0),
	FntR*NumSize+Large => ("/fonts/lucida/unicode.10font", nil, 0),
	FntR*NumSize+Verylarge => ("/fonts/lucida/unicode.14.font", nil, 0),

	......
	......
};

Unfortunately, I got only Normal size of Japanese text.
