Oh, I got it.  I copied one of the .pfa fonts from the
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts-wadalab-mincho directory into X's font path,
and it turned up nicely in Dia, and printed as well.  Look at the eps file
in http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause/Japanese.eps.

Note that the only fonts that work correctly right now are Type1 fonts
(.pfa and .pfb).  TrueType is next on the list.
