I'm using vista 32-bit home premium Japanese text generally appears as random symbols in most programs that I open. Example: http://i35.tinypic.com/5by0hz.jpg Is the solution to install japanese fonts? If so, for some reason I don't have the option to install language fonts as shown here: http://i38.tinypic.com/23wrxxi.jpg
have you done anything with your font folder? windows vista has native Japanese support to view Japanese text unlike xp.
