Hello, I apologize for joining this list just to get help, but the Suse support database seems pretty worthless and my searches haven't turned up anything. I am a new Linux user, just having installed Suse 9.0 (I bought the personal edition). Today, I decided to figure out how to input Japanese (I have studied Japanese for several years and plan to move to Japan). To my chagrin, I discovered that I cannot even view Japanese text (e.g. websites) in Suse, let alone input it. All I see are little boxes in place of Japanese characters. I presume that the built-in Sans and Serif fonts are supposed to be full or nearly-full unicode fonts, but I can't see any CJK characters in the Unicode font utility. All I see are little boxes. The Yast language setup tool does not display the Asian language names correctly. I just see little boxes. I tried switching to Japanese, but it didn't seem to make any difference - except in my Ximian Evolution menues, which now consist of (you guessed it) little boxes instead of English or Japanese text. Any help is appreciated. I'm a little weary of Suse's support, which I paid for but has been non-existent so far. I'd just chuck the whole thing, if I hadn't already spent two weeks (and $80) configuring everything else the way I need it. Paul Davidson
