I do have Japanese X fonts installed and all setup. But Evolution
doesn't use them. Actually, I don't think it even knows that it's
Japanese, as it shows ascii, as opposed to little squares.
Plus I haven't really figured out how to input Japanese in X
generally. I don't really like any of the current input methods, but
I haven't gotten around to getting the skills to write an input method
more like how windows is. I think that would be a great thing for
GNOME to manage, now with GNOME2 supporting i18n.
Anyways, I'm rambling...
