Hi all,
I'm trying to get Firefox set up so it'll display Japanese pages
properly, but I don't seem to be having any luck.
I'm using Firefox 0.9.3 in Sarge.
Whenever I view a page with Japanese characters in it, they get
represented as a box with a four-character alphanumeric (hex?) code in
it. Here's a screencap:

Now, I've installed a bunch of Japanese fonts as instructed here:

And they seem to work ... when I open a kterm window and cat a japanese
text file, it displays fine.
Also, firefox seems to _think_ it's working: The menu under
View -> Character Encoding shows that it's autodetecting Japanese
(sometimes Unicode, sometimes Shift_JIS), but still I get the same junk
displayed. Also, manually selecting Unicode or Shift_JIS makes
essentially no difference (The alignment moves around a bit, but I still
get no Japanese characters).
So how do I get this working?
Cheers!
