Japanese characters in Firefox

[Ryokan]

Anyone know how to get Firefox to show Japanese characters? Right now they just show up as ????????.

[Terry]

view->character encoding->either auto or the known Japanese encoding

maybe?

[Ryokan]

No, that didn't work.

[Terry]

Do you have japanese fonts installed?

[Ryokan]

Probably not.

Assume I don't :P

Chances are you don't have Japanese language support for your computer. Go to Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options, click the Languages tab, and check the box that says "Install files for East Asian languages".

Well, now it asks me for the Windows DVD. I don't have it here. So I guess that stops me right there, doesn't it?

Yeah, you need to find that in order for it to work.
