And in your email! Thanks, Henri. That looks exactly what I need. I want to get Japanese fonts working in Thunderbird as well. How does one input from a Western Keyboard? UK in my case, but I imagine that it is much the same on all Western keyboards? I'm afraid that the Japanese is for my bilingual granddaughter and not for me, so I shall have to wait to read your last comment until she comes back from her parents in Japan for her next school term at the beginning of January - she flew back to Japan just 2 days ago. Sjhe wants to be able to send emails and illustrated documents to her Japanese friends. I'll let you know how I get on. Many thanks!
