Hi, For viewing files in Japanese, or typing Japanese, all you should need is the appropriate fonts and the correct character encoding. In most cases, UTF-8 will do fine. If you want to run apps, or even gnome-terminal, with a Japanese locale, only then do you need to generate a Japanese locale and set it up to be used, eg. "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 gedit". From the description you gave above, it sounds like you should have everything needed to at least display Japanese, so what exactly goes wrong? Can you for example copy text from the Japanese Wikipedia to gnome-terminal? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
