Description Masaru Nomiya 2006-03-02 12:45:13 UTC 
When I try to view a Japanese dvi, xdvi shows the error message as follows;

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+359/600 --dpi 959 rml
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for rml.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
xdvi 22.84.9 (Xaw toolkit): events.c:4144: Shouldn't happen: Segmentation fault - trying to clean up and aborting ...

At this time. it produces missfont.log;

mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+359/600 --dpi 959 rml

Japanese always requires patches which was done for dvips.
The patched version of dvips is called pdvips.  We do not
include patches for Japanese into the normal program because
those patches arn't accepted by the main stream developers.
Beside this it looks like a Japanese font is missed.

You have to use xgdvi from the package TeX-Guy for Japanese ptex.
