That may not be what you need but try it and see what happens. Chances are that some of the menus and other headers won't appear properly. It's a KDE problem. Some of the software just isn't designed to be used in the Japanese user environment, and so isn't encoded for Japanese. However, this doesn't seem to be a problem with Bluecurve from what I can tell. > Kanji displayed fine under 1.0.8 but after > upgrading to 1.2 *no* kanji font would display > correctly.

What you call kanji gibberish is referred to as "Mojibake" It's a common problem using Japanese in Linux. wrong language encoding is what causes it. I don't know in what you want to use Japanese for, but to properly display email for example, you need to encode the body of the text as well as the header to get all the mail to appear properly in Japanese.
