Martin,
Thanks - MS Mincho looks interesting.
What I found, though, was that some of the punctuation doesn't appear as expected. For example a ')' appears as a centralised dot and a '\' appears as a Yen symbol. Not terribly good for writing PERL !
Also - the glyphs looked slightly different : do you know if it's a big- or little-endian UTF-16 font or a UTF-8 font ?
Ideally I'd like to use a UTF-8 font.
Apparently there's an MS Gothic ...
Thanks,
Tim

Yes, some font covering Japanese would be a good start. You would have
to copy the glyphs used for fullwith ASCII to also be used for plain
ASCII, and then add whatever else is missing.
