I've been trying to get the Meiryo font to work with LaTeX CJK for quite a while now, but for some reason or other it's always refused to work. I gave it another go today, and managed to actually get some output, but it wasn't really what I expected.
For some reason, processing Hiragana results in characters that I've never seen before being produced in the PDF. A few of the Kanji that I've written are unscathed, but many are replaced by unexpected characters.
I've successfully used the guide at http://www-alg.ist.hokudai.ac.jp/~jan/japfonts.html to allow CJK to use the IPA fonts, but having followed the same tutorial with Meiryo doesn't result in anything usable. My suspicion is that the Unicode glyphs are in the wrong places, or something along those lines.
I've got the .tfm files produced by running ttf2tfm on meiryo.ttc in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/meiryo, and the .td files in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/CJK fonts.
The contents of the relevant .td and .map files are as follows:
c70meiryo.td:
\DeclareFontFamily{C70}{meiryo}{\hyphenchar \font\m@ne}
\DeclareFontShape{C70}{meiryo}{m}{n}{<-> CJK * meiryo}{}
\DeclareFontShape{C70}{meiryo}{bx}{n}{<-> CJKb * meiryo}{\CJKbold}
ttfonts.map (only relevant bits)
ipam@UJIS@ ipam.ttf
ipam-uni@Unicode@ ipam.ttf
meiryo@Unicode@ meiryo.ttc
msjh@Unicode@ unicode msjh.ttf
Also, here's a part of the document that I'm trying to make with this font - I'm using the flashcards package, but I feel that it's unlikely that that has much of an impact on the font problem. I'm using an a4 paper size for the cards, and there's no default .cfg file for that, so if necessary you can either change the paper type to avery5371 in the documentclass, or make a file a4paper.cfg in your flashcards directory (mine is /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/flashcards), and put in the following:
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1996/12/01]
\ProvidesFile{a4paper.cfg}
\newcommand{\cardpapermode}{portrait}
\newcommand{\cardpaper}{a4paper}
\newcommand{\cardrows}{5}
\newcommand{\cardcolumns}{2}
\setlength{\cardheight}{2.126in}
\setlength{\cardwidth}{3.346in}
\setlength{\topoffset}{0.5in}
\setlength{\oddoffset}{1.0in}
\setlength{\evenoffset}{1.0in}
\endinput
A LaTeX document to use for any testing, if required (it throws up some other errors that I haven't worked around yet). Currently uses meiryo encoding. Default for CJK is min, I think:
\documentclass[a4paper,grid]{flashcards}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{CJK}
\usepackage{ruby}
\renewcommand{\rubysize}{0.4}
\renewcommand{\rubysep}{-0.8}
\cardfrontstyle[\fontsize{90pt}{0.2cm}\slshape]{headings}
\cardbackstyle{plain}
\newcommand{\df}[3]{#1 -- #2 -- #3}
\newcommand{\rdf}[3]{\ruby{#1}{#2} -- #3}
\newcommand{\md}{\fontsize{18pt} \selectfont}

Here are some pictures of what I'm talking about:
Compiling the above using meiryo as the font:
with ipam as the font:
Any ideas as to what the problem may be, and how I should go about fixing it?
