I take it you mean in a terminal window? Try specifying your font like this unicode font in the following example. If the Japanese font is not a Unicode encoding do no specify -u8. xterm -u8 -fn '-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1' I have never actually displayed Japanese text in an English locale but I think this is all you would need to do (in addition to running the actual programs in the appropriate locale assuming they support the encoding).
