Thank you for your comment.
But I have another problem for \font control sequece to indicate a
target font.

I'm on CentOS 5 Linux.
I installed fonts-japanese rpm, but I don't know how these of fonts
named under TeX system.

Could you someone please tell me how japanese fonts named in TeX system
or give me links that I should study?

Regards,
Akihiro
