Thanks to all for the tips. I didn't realize one could replace the fonts in the Duet controller and was despairing of getting CJK characters rendered correctly.
Here are some specific tips for Japanese font support: 1. This issue was recently discussed on the 2chan BBS (http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:iWsq2PKA6ooJ:hobby11.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/pav/1165508841/935-970) and the Arisaka (modified Mac font for Win) and Meiryo (MS Cleartype font) were recommended. 2. Fonts that do not work are IPA, SH-G30, and MSGothic/GothicP. 3. Info about the suggested fonts, with sample images and links, is here: http://smart-pda.net/useful7+index.id+5.htm I tested the Arisaka family and it looks good, with decent spacing, but it is a bit thin looking. This is especially so for Latin text. Everything is readable, but it lacks the familiar weight of the FreeSans font. Two questions: 1. Is the Arialuni.ttf mentioned previously just a catch-all font that includes support for characters in all CJK languages? 2. This method worked for displaying artist and album names in Japanese, but I prefer to browse through the Music Library>Music Folder. Many of my directory names are in Japanese, but these are not rendered properly. I wondered why, and looked in the SqueezeCenter web interface, only to find that they aren't being detected _there_, either. Is this a limitation I don't know about? I thought that the SC software should have no trouble detecting CJK filenames server-side.
