Re: Japanese font

Hi Claus,

It's been a couple days since I've checked my mail & since no one else
answered, I will.
(of course, only to the best of my ability), Adobe has a new Japanese font.
But depending on your needs, you might be able download demo software. It's
late & I'm to lazy to give a list right now, but if you want it E-mail me.
Even with a font you will need some means to write with it, ie. a Japanese
word processor. I don't know of any Japanese font directly usable on an ASCII
system. 
Japanese computers use JIS, S-JIS, EUC. Which is way a Japanese web page looks
like random garbage on an ASCII computer, they don't speak the same language.
Also Kanji fonts are called double byte fonts, it seems some kanji characters
are broken it to 2 bytes per character. 

That is a very quick summary of what I've learned about Japanese fonts. Right
now, I'm trying KanjiKit97 & I've used several other translators. (My wife & I
do Japanese translations.)

I hope this will help some & you can E-mail me for more,
