On Slink, I can view the Japanese characters in Emacs first by installing
the package "intlfonts-japanese" and then start Emacs with the parameter
"-fn fontset-standard". Then inside Emacs, M-x set-language-environment,
Japanese. That way you should be able to see the Japanese characters.
I have just done the upgrade to Patoto recently, but the above font package
is not removed during the upgrade, but I can still view Japanese characters
inside Emacs. Take a look at the new packages with dselect, it seemed the
font package has got a new name. It's "xfonts-intl-japanese". Take a look
at it.
