Summary: Japanese Character Support 

Initial Comment:
Hey everybody!

I've noticed some very strange behavior with gaim when
talking to my friends on AIM.  It seems that if I'm
talking to my other friends on Gaim in Japanese, they
can read the characters fine.  However, when I talk to
someone using a windows AIM client, the Japanese
appears as gibberish.  This is odd, because I can talk
to these same people using normal AIM using the same
font (MS Mincho) and it appears normal to them.  What's
also odd is that if I talk to someone who is using an
Apple AIM client, than the Japanese characters appear
correct again.

Is this a bug or is this a settings problem or what?

I'm not sure I see the logic in simply declaring the
mainstream AIM client as buggy and moving on.  I've found
that the mainstream AIM client can receive Japanese
characters in clients other than AIM (for example, other
mainstream AIM clients).  In other words, I previously used
AIM and was able to send and receive Japanese characters
with these people with no problems.  Only when switching to
gaim do these losses arise.  

I understand that there is a problem with ambiguity.  It's
difficult because the bug only appears in very specific
cases and I'm not exactly sure where.  If you want to give
up on those grounds, I understand.

If your friend sees only boxes that is a clear indication of
a faulty or let's say incomplete configuration of fonts on
your friend's part.  This certainly is no bug in gaim.  

And as I indicated earlier I suspect the other problems you
are experiencing to stem from problems on the receiving end
as well.

After investigating further, I've gotten some very
unpredictable behavior.  I've found at least one instance
where someone using AIM client version 5.9.3861 see's only
boxes, but receives normal Japanese text when looking
through a web browser (via UTF-8).  I've found other people
who use a lower version of AIM can see the text perfectly
(including myself).  Since the client is from the same
source, I assume it's the same encoding.  Very strange.

Could be a bug on the receiving end.  Anybody know what
these clients expect as encoding?  Could be that they expect
some Windows-specific encoding.

What client software is that?
