[debian-devel:10902] Re: [root@xxxxxxxxxxxx: Bug#49732: gs complaining about missing font 'min']

[Taketoshi Sano <xlj06203@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi. I will check this. of course the quick way around is to disable 
kanji-support with comment out it in debian/rules, but it is not our wishes.

I sent this mail also to debian-devel@debian.or.jp, so other members in
Debian JP can work on this also, I hope.

Thank you for your consideration.
