Japanese Font Details?

I've been trying for days to get Japanese fonts flashed to my reader. I renamed and tweaked my fonts (MS ゴシク) and I have succeeded with small sets, I can get hiragana and katakana and a few basic kanji (about 100) in and displayed no problem. However when I start to add more characters, it starts to bomb out while flashing ("Error while flashing partition"). I don't know if it's the size that matters (still under 200k!) or if there is corruption somewhere. (;=_=)

I am writing a little flash-card/quiz building script, so embedding the fonts in each document will bloat storage use immensely, hence the flashing. (The flasher works great, btw - Thanks Igorsk and all)

So, to those of you who got Japanese fonts successfully flashed:
What exactly did you do?
Which font did you use?
Did you modify it (beyond renaming)?
How did you modify it?


Any help you can give me will be appreciated, I'm bashing my head against the wall. And I feel a bit ridiculous over here surrounded by Japanese when I can't even get my own reader to display it. ( ´ο`)=3

Thanks again for any tips ~Dave
よろしくね~
