Hello All,

I recently have a need to be able to view Kanji and Hirigana text on my
KDE desktop. I installed the kde-i18n-ja-3.1.4-noarch-1 and even added
Japanese under, "Regional & Accessibilty ---> Country/Region & Language.

However, it doesn't seem to pick up the text properly. Netscape doesn't
seem to have a problem.

I am using Slackware 10.0 with KDE 3.2.3, any ideas on what I am doing
wrong?

Thanks in advance...
Joe

That wont do you any good. The i18n packages holds local translations of
KDE and its applications, you know menus, help files and the like.

Try this. In the "Control Center" go to "System Administration"|"Font
Installer" and then use this tool to install some fonts that supports
the charsets you need.

Sorry, I forgot the explanation. Just because the fonts is present in
/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts doesn't mean that KDE sees them, you'll have to
install them in KDE first. And no, I don't know the reason for this
stupid behavior.

Ok, thanks for your help. I will try that.
