Hmm, I have difficulties to understand what you mean. I will try to
formulate your report in my own words:
Currently the Japanese pages are served in UTF-8 (is this right?),
but you request that we serve it in iso-2022-jp instead, because
UTF-8 causes problems in reading the pages.
Have I understood you correctly?
Gruesse,
