I dont have the SBN but you can ask a bookstore (such as Stacy's)
"Understnding Japanses Information Processing" by Ken Lunde, published
by O'Reilly&Assocaite.  I am reading the book.  It is full of very useful
info, especially for the people who can not read Japanese that well.
I am very interested in Asian language ( 2 byte encoding charset) word/data
processing and fonts. I knew Japan has the leading technology in this field.
I have been very closely watching the development.  Besides joining INSOFT-L
etc, I often ftp'ed to Japan ftp sites such as waseda.ac.jp, kyoto-u.ac.jp,
omron.co.jp etc, but often I was very frustrated because all readme/doc are
in Japanese (~ 30% kanji 70% kana). As a Chinese, I can only understand 30%,
often not enough for makeing it useful or for sure.  And when I query
(in English) to individule or company, I don't get their response.  Nowhere
to turn to. (This made me very appreciate the news net here, I always got a
lot of enthusiastic responses.)

Do you happen to know there are news group of this field in Japan or U.S.
that I can read and post in English?
