>Description:
The intlfonts package installs many fonts used by emacs to
render multibyte characters.  However, since X uses only the pcf
format files, the bdf files that come with the intlfonts
distribution are not installed.

In addition, since some of the fonts in the intlfonts-1.2 distribution
duplicate ones found in our X11 installation (e.g. Chinese.X
Japanese.X Korean.X), they are not installed at all.

Unfortunately, emacs's ps-mule.el support for embedding font
bitmaps in a postscript file can only use the bdf format fonts,
emacs can not be configured to use our intlfonts package
for generating postscript.

>How-To-Repeat:

. install the intlfonts package
. observe that there are no bdf files installed
. also observe that the following fonts are not
  part of the intlfonts package at all:
    jiskan, gb24st, hanglm24
>Fix:

have the intlfonts package install the bdf files
for all available fonts, especially the ones found in emacs's
variable ps-mule-font-info-database-bdf.  I have included
the current value for ps-mule-font-info-database-bdf
below.

A reasonable place to install the bdf files would be
  /usr/pkg/share/emacs/fonts/bdf

The emacs package should also be modified to set
the variable bdf-directory-list to the intlfonts bdf
installation directory in its site-init.el file.

For reference, here is the value of
ps-mule-font-info-database-bdf from emacs-21.2.  It
can be used to determine which bdf files emacs will
choose when it embeds font bitmaps in its postcript
files.

BDF (Bitmap Distribution Format) is a format used for distributing X's font

Current default value list for BDF fonts is included in `intlfonts-1.2' which is
a collection of X11 fonts for all characters supported by Emacs.
