It's pretty easy to do some things (although not quite as easy as using the MS Global IME). I have a page that covers getting Japanese support in FreeBSD at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html The FreeBSD section is towards the bottom. =20 Also, I've only gotten so far as getting it working in X (as opposed to console) and never did get printing it working correctly, more laziness on my part than it being impossible. Quick rundown, you'll need to install a few things from ports and add a little script to set the language variable. =20 HTH a little, anyway, --=20 Scott PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: Oh.
