11. About Japanese

First, you need Japanese fonts. (Of course, Japanese version of Windows has Japanese fonts.) Meadow can use TrueType fonts and BDF fonts.

The contents of `Japanese' directory in intlfonts:

JIS roman and kana (JISX0201) fonts
- 8x16rk.bdf
- 12x24rk.bdf
- a18rk.bdf
JIS kanji (JISX0208.1978) font (old JIS)
- jiskan16-1978.bdf
JIS kanji (JISX0208.1983) fonts (new JIS)
- k14.bdf
- jiskan16.bdf
- jiskan24.bdf
- kanji18.bdf
JIS kanji (JISX0208.1990) font
- k16-1990.bdf
JIS supplemental kanji (JISX0212) fonts
- jisksp16.bdf

Example configuration when these reside in c:/usr/fonts:

(w32-auto-regist-bdf-font "bdf16-japanese-jisx0201" "c:/usr/fonts/8x16rk.bdf") (w32-auto-regist-bdf-font "bdf16-japanese-jisx0208.1983" "c:/usr/fonts/jiskan16-1983.bdf")

You can read iso-2022-jp without any special configuration. When you read sjis or euc, put

(set-language-environment 'Japanese)
in your `.emacs'.
