Yes, the kochi fonts seem to work very well.
However, as you say, I believe that the wadalab and watanabe fonts are used for
printing.
I have been googling for a discussion about setting those fonts up with
xft2/Qt3/fontconfig but I've been mostly unsuccessful.
It is worth noting that receiving boxes instead of a character is often
indicative of encoding problems. 

Looking at kochi-gothic.ttf and kochi-mincho.ttf, I get:
encoding  0: Apple Roman
encoding  1: Windows Unicode

while looking at wadalab-gothic.ttf and watanabe-mincho.ttf, I get:
encoding  0: Apple Roman
encoding  1: Apple Japanese
encoding  2: Windows Shift-JIS
encoding  3: Windows Shift-JIS

Also, could the following be related to our troubles?

description: 
On a fresh cooker installation, I selected Japanese as a second language during
the installation.
When I browse through the font list in the font-setup module in kcontrol, I
cannot find any of the Japanese fonts: 
kochi-gothic
kochi-mincho
wadalab-gothic
wadalab-mincho
I cannot find them in the drakfont listing either.

I tried this with and without AA on, both in a Japanese KDE environment as well
as an English KDE environment.

I then copied /usr/share/fonts/ttf/japanese/kochi-gothic.ttf to /tmp and used
drakfont to install it, and then it appeared in the drakfont listings as well as
the KDE font-module.

At this point, I also looked in OpenOffice.org, and I could not find the wadalab
fonts, but both kochi-gothic and kochi-mincho were in the font listings there. 

This looks like an incorrect font setup to me!

Note: To be precise: When one uses localedrake to setup a Japanese account,
wadalab is set up as the default fixed font in KDE [can't remember which one of
the two, gothic or mincho]. However, wadalab doesn't appear in the listing of
the selectable fonts.
