    Japanese Text Problem.

    Hey guys, bit of a noob with these things, but I can't seem to view Japanese text on Firefox. It only shows up as question marks and no actual text. I tried screwing around with character encoding and had no luck. Any ideas?

    You need to install east asian language support in windows...you'll need your install disk for that...past that, I have no idea where it's at, I use windows for work and FFXI only.

    Another solution may be...

    1) go to the View Tab

    2) go to Character Encoding

    3) go to Auto-Detect and Select Japanese

    this did it for me. i have the JP IME installed as well and Firefox didnt display on all pages until i did this.
