Question about changing kaka/kanji files (Japanese)

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Masahiko,
    It is difficult to answer this accurately without seeing the  
file.  However, line 0 in a CHAT file
is probably the "hidden" line with the @Font header.  It is likely  
that you have some non-Roman character in
a font name that is causing problems for CHSTRING.  Try opening the  
file in some editor besides
CLAN to check this out.  It is possible that this could be viewed as  
a bug, but it is hard to say until
we see that line.  You could send a copy of the relevant file to  
spektor at andrew.cmu.edu for checking.
