xmms-singit, japanese lyrics

[Victor Munoz <vmunoz@macul.ciencias.uchile.cl>]

Hello. Does anyone know if it is possible to display japanese lyrics with
xmms-singit? I try the following:

kinput2 -canna -xim -kinput &
export LANG=ja_JP; export LC_ALL=ja_JP;export XMODIFIES="@im=kinput2"
xmms&

And then, if I open the lyrics editor for the singit plugin, I can actually
type japanese characters. Then I save. But the displayer does not show
characters correctly. I tried changing fonts. I tried the different
versions of 'mincho' fonts available in the font selector. Japanese
characters are displayed, but not correlated to what I wrote (for instance,
I write only hiragana, but only kanjis are displayed, and they do not
correspond to the hiragana I wrote of course). 

Has anybody done this? Thank you very much in advance,

Victor
