Japanese Encoding

Does anyone know where I can find a coding for Firefox or other browsers for the Japanese Language stuff. A friend has been trying to get me to check some things out where it would be applicable. I need a free one if its available.

I guess you mean you can't see Japanese, only the ????? and [][][][][][].

Control panel -> regional and language options -> lanuages tab -> check both boxes. It'll ask for the WinXP CD, so pop it in.

You'll start seeing real Japanese characters in your browsers and explorer.

Problem is that my WinXp CD is currently missing, It never turned back up after I moved

Er, just try checking "Install East Asian files" and see if that does it, because that alone shouldn't prompt you for the CD.

You can probably search Microsoft's homepage for an East Asian language pack that you can download and install without much trouble.
