So far I've seen "romanji", which appears to be a romanized form of Japanese, JIS (which is?) and "EUC" (which is?). I'd like to support the "most standard" type for sysinstall, but I'm a little unclear as to just exactly what that might be. Romanji looks like the easiest to display, but it's probably also the least palatable to the native Japanese speaker. Given that I also have *no* Japanese fonts for syscons, I'm also somewhat limited in that dept. anyway. There is a format I can display with the ISO8859-1 font, according to Satoshi, though I'm still a little unclear on how it works. I would welcome any suggestions or additional information! I'm not exactly an expert in I18N issues, though I get the feeling that I'm going to know a lot more than I planned about this by the time I'm done! :) Jordan
