Author's name: Gernot Hassenpflug
Location on CTAN: /fonts/hwkatakana
Summary description: Half-width katakana font for Japanese
License type: gpl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Half-width katakana Type 1 fonts in SJIS encoding are provided to 
integrate with the Wadalab fonts for use with, for example, the 
CJK package.  Auxiliary files to use the font with Unicode UTF8 
encoding are also provided.  The origin of the font is the Wadalab 
gothic font katakana glyphs, which have been modified to make up the 
JIS X 0201 set of half-width katakana characters using Fontforge.  
The Wadalab fonts need to be available for this package to work.
