Re: [9fans] tr2post fails on japanese characters

["rob pike, esq." <rob@plan9.bell-labs.com>]

As /sys/doc/mkfile should demonstrate, you need to use a macro
package -mnihongo.  The Japanese font is rendered directly into
postscript from bitmaps, and doesn't look very good, but it's
good enough for the rare use we put it to.

All you should need to do is
	cd /sys/doc
	mk utf.ps
	page utf.ps
The output of the mk will tell you the command line.
