There are several things that need to be working right in order to view kanji in Netscape:

  • The Japanese fonts need to be installed on your system. For example, Debian Linux requires the xfntbig package.
  • The "Document Encoding" option in the View menu has to be set to Japanese (either EUC or auto-detect).
  • You have to choose the font Fixed(Jis) for the jis x 0208-1983 encoding in the fonts menu.
