does anyone out there know anything about how japanese fonts are
organized? i was looking at the Kanji16 font using xfd on my 
Japanese OpenWindows sun, and i noticed that the hiragana,
which in EUC start at 0xa4a0 start at 0x01a0, and the 
kanji which usually start at 0xb0a1 start at 0x0620.

is there a standard conversion available?  also, does anyone
have any english documentation on Wnn, or better yet, is there
something else available for input conversion?

all followups to sci.lang.japan please 
thanks for your help.
