I think you're going to have to convert a lot more than just the U+30xx
vector... Japanese covers a whole lot of glyph real-estate.

TeXFont is pretty tuned to use existing map files, and I can see how, in
Hans's original design (considering his recent rail against duplicate/
incompatible encodings), copying an .enc file could be seen as a bug.

AFAIK, we're in a transition in the TeX directory structure, and so
things don't join up properly.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Email me off-list with your source doc and your
mona.ttx, and I'll see if I can take a look.
