Re: Japanese characters in konqueror
I've got my konqueror set up (all of kde in fact) for Danish language. Western characters (iso-latin-1) are displayed fine. When I look at a website with japanese characters all I get are square blocks. Have you tried setting the Encoding to Autodetect - Japanese? I've got the xfonts-intl-japanese package installed. I like Kochi Mincho And Kochi Gothic fonts (ttf-kochi-mincho ttf-kochi-gothic), and you can also search and install Bitstream Cyberbit. This last one is unicode. Haplo
Japanese characters in konqueror

When I look at a website with japanese characters all I get are square blocks. I've got the xfonts-intl-japanese package installed. Using unstable. Any ideas for getting this to work?

Some random ideas: - the xfonts-ideas-japanese seem to be bitmapped fonts.

I mean, IIRC Pango uses other fonts than the configured fonts when the second lack some needed characters; it goes and figures which other fonts can provide them, I figure. OTOH, I think I've heard QT isn't capable of this. I am pretty sure wrt to the first point, but take the second one with caution. It'd be nice if someone could confirm or deny it with more first-hand knowledge.
