I would disagree. I have found that with some fonts, even though they (theoretically) have Japanese support, they will show up as squares in openoffice. I would try the kochi fonts, or the arphic ones that are in pacman, and again, be sure to add them, either with spadmin or manually, to the openoffice shared fonts. BTW, on most Linux lists, rather than top posting (answering a post above the email you are answering, it's considered better form to answer inline, as if it were a conversation--that is, answer point A below point A, point B below point B, etc. Otherwise it comes out like Yes. With cream and sugar. Would you like coffee? How would you like it? :) The unselfish reason is that it makes it easier for anyone interested to follow the thread. The selfish reason is that often the more experienced folks won't even bother looking at something top posted, and you lose the benefit of their expertise.
