I am cross-posting this (short) note to several newsgroups, so please bear
with the irrelevance...

I am in desparate need of some information concerning software standards,
tools, techniques, etc. dealing with the Japanese alphabets:  Katakana,
Hiragana, and mostly, Kanji.  I would like as much information as I can get
about:

  -  ANSI, ISO, or similar standards on computer encoding of Japanese
     characters, and other DBCS (Double Byte Character Set) character sets.

  -  Commercially available programming extensions/tools for both syllabic
     input of Japanese words and graphic output of Japanese characters.  A
     licensable Kanji dictionary with software interface would be ideal.
     The proposed target machine is the IBM AT, but information on others
     such as the Macintosh are welcome.

  -  Commercially available fonts for Japanese alphabets.

  -  Other leads, hints, anecdotes, or miscellany.


Thank you,          Doomo Arigatoo,
Brent Southard      Sazaado Burento
