FreeDOS have no double-byte language support. Japanese, Chinese or Korean must be display through an external program. That kind of program will enable graphical display of the Japanese or Chinese character by "translating" the double-byte high ASCII from it's internal font table. I've try to move Japanese MS-DOS (JDOS) font and driver to FreeDOS, however, they didn't work. I guess M$'s driver must hook some interrupt vector or entry point that only MS-DOS DOS have. And sadly, I fail to find any free Japanese utility to type or just display Japanese. There're free Chinese system (BIG5) for personal use, and a utility to "display" Chinese (BIG5).
