To create gaiji, use it with Gaiji Edit Kit (sold separately). – The typeface names in the font menu are Enfour Gaiji DX’s own names. – Gaiji cannot be used in JustSystems’ Ichitaro, which restricts use of the gaiji area. – With ATOK11, part of the gaiji area cannot be registered in the dictionary unless the Text Encoding Converter extension is version 1.3 or later. – In Adobe Illustrator 7.0J, the base font must be a CID font. Outlining the gaiji, using option packs and using data created with Gaiji Edit Kit are also not possible. (Version 5.5 does not have this problem.)

PS Edition – Cannot be used unless the PostScript printer has Morisawa’s PostScript fonts L Ryumin L-KL and M Chu Gothic BBB installed. – Printing to a PostScript printer with the ATM Edition alone can be unstable, depending on the application. If you use a PostScript printer, we recommend installing the PS Edition on it.
