Hitoshi,

I don't see any sign that Apache Legal has ever ruled on the IPA license, but several clauses in there give me reason to question whether they would permit us to redistribute it.  I'm happy to post the license and have them rule but it will take some time.  What we'll also need to do is figure out a way to switch between fonts based on the path of the PDF being generated if we stick with IPA, because a clause in the license definitely forbids relabeling or modifying the IPA fonts, so we could not redistribute a merged font family.

That's why I've been exploring the Dejavu route, since the Forrest page explicitly mentioned CJK support in that family.  Too bad it isn't true.

If IPA is the only available choice I think we're going to have to make do without Japanese PDFs for the time being.  What we'll also need to do is figure out a way to switch between fonts based on the path of the PDF being generated if we stick with IPA.
