Yeah, that is a bit tedious. I was doing an even more tedious version of that: looking up the kanji in an online english <-> japanese kanji dictionary, copy paste. You'd think I would have thought of the gnome charmap thing myself. The problem, it seems is that the fonts I installed didnt have glyphs for the characters I was trying to use, or they werent mapped to the right unicode characters but to the normal latin character set instead, replacing the normal a,b,c,etc with japanese characters. I've found a few fonts with the necessary glyphs now and everything is working. thanks for the suggestion. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
