Aw, give them a break.  I am sure they will sell their machines
overseas when the time comes.  Contrary to your suggestion,
I consider NeXT to be a prime example of what Americans should be
proud of.

I am hoping that I can just buy nice Kanji fonts for DPS from
Adobe, and just load-and-go.  I know  Apple sells a version
of their LaserWriter NTX with built-in Kanji fonts in Japan.
If DPS supports Kanji, then it shouldn't take any changes to
whatever NeXT does on top of DPS.  Perhaps, Glenn can comment on this?
