Newbie at i18n under FreeBSD..

I installed kinput2+freewnn+sj3 and the servers are running. I'm using a
Gnome2 setup.

I ran:

$kinput2 -canna +xim &

For Gnome2 applications (like Pan2), I can chose XIM as the input
method. But can't seem to be able to input any characters or see any
Japanese characters. I can't seem to find what Japanese fonts work under
X/Gnome either. 

Basically, how does XIM work?

The Gnome2 launcher menus do show Japanese fonts properly under
locale/language and translations. Mozilla is also rendering Japanese
just fine. So Japanese fonts are working... but I'm totally lost as to
how to get them working/showing in normal apps and editors.

Can I use a unicode font (like Bitstream CyberBit) and enable most of my
Gnome apps to display multibyte characters without much hassle?

Any helps, leads and links would be much appreciated.
