This was necessary for dia-0.88.1 to avoide reencoding the Japanese
fonts, but for dia-0.90 this code has become irrelevant because
HAVE_UNICODE seems to be defined always, i.e. this hack
doesn't work anymore for dia-0.90.

I don't understand that. If you compile dia-0.90 without using
'--enable-freetype' the PostScript output does depend on Ghostscript.
I just tried again. Without '--enable-freetype', dia does not embed
fonts into the PostScript output. It just write font names into
the PostScript output and relies on the existence of these fonts
in the Printer or Ghostscript.

In the Ghostscript Fontmap there is:

    /goth (goth.gsf) ;
    /goth-RKSJ (goth.gsf) ;
    /goth-EUC (goth.gsf) ;
    /goth-V (goth.gsf) ;

    /GothicBBB-Medium           /goth ;
    /GothicBBB-Medium-H         /goth ;
    /GothicBBB-Medium-RKSJ              /goth-RKSJ ;
    /GothicBBB-Medium-RKSJ-H    /goth-RKSJ ;
    /GothicBBB-Medium-EUC               /goth-EUC ;
    /GothicBBB-Medium-EUC-H             /goth-EUC ;
    /GothicBBB-Medium-V         /goth-V ;

I.e. GothicBBB-Medium and GothicBBB-Medium-EUC-H are aliased to the
same font.

Unfortunately I can't get dia-0.90 to print Japanese anymore
using Ghostscript. Here is a simple example file created
with dia-0.90 with freetype disabled:

Attachment: japanese-test-dia-0.90-no-freetype.dia
Description: Text document

The PostScript output is:

Attachment: japanese-test-dia-0.90-no-freetype.dia.ps
Description: PostScript document

And Ghostscript gives the following output:

    mfabian gregory:/tmp$ gs japanese-test-dia-0.90-no-freetype.dia.ps

You can see that it loads the Ryumin-Light font, but then fails
because of the reencoding.

How do you get Japanese printing to work with dia 0.90?
