Hi :) Brilliant!! I think you are right about the font being the problem. I think we have had this problem a couple of times before in other languages mostly with non-RTL scripts. Now we just need someone that knows a lot about fonts! Regards from Tom :)

If there is any problems doing that, go down farther and choose "Other way to download . . .". Then choose 3.4.4, then Windows. Click on the Helppacks to go down to the Japanese one. Here are the direct links, to the Windows download and the the help pack .

I do not know enough about the Japanese fonts, but I did see one or two that did just that, though most of the fonts I use for foreign languages are Unicode so the Japanese fonts are somewhere else.
