japanese

you can check whether you have some japanese fonts in the legacy encodings jisx02008 and jisx0201 available to your x-server with the command

     ~$ xlsfonts |grep jisx 

a basic set of japanese bitmap fonts is already part of xfree86.rpm. therefore, almost all systems with x installed already have some japanese fonts and the output of the above xlsfonts command should at least contain:

     -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0     -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-110-100-100-c-160-jisx0208.1983-0     -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-150-75-75-c-160-jisx0208.1983-0     -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-240-jisx0208.1983-0     -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-230-75-75-c-240-jisx0208.1983-0     -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0     -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0     -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-140-jisx0208.1983-0     -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-jisx0201.1976-0     -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-100-100-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0     -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-jisx0201.1976-0     -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-150-75-75-c-80-jisx0201.1976-0     -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-120-jisx0201.1976-0     -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-230-75-75-c-120-jisx0201.1976-0 

you only need to install additional fonts if you want to have other sizes or styles.

you cannot easily find out with xlsfonts which fonts available in iso10646-1 encoding (unicode) support all glyphs needed for japanese. but see section 5.1.1 how to find out with the help of #_#>fc-list|.
