We have a new student in our lab who is from Japan.  If possible, we
would like to help him with our Unix system by setting up X windows in
as "Japanese" a fashion as possible.

We would like to be able to read the "fj" newsgroups, plus add whatever
other general use applications there are that would be useful for a
general user.  Note that this student is a biologist, so the most
useful things would be newsreading, editors, mail applications, etc.
We will not be developing software.

I'm fairly new with X, and completely new with trying to get Japanese
input and output.  Can anyone give me some suggestions on where to get
some information/sources/advice?

Any help will be gratefully received.

-Dean

P.S. Please write back in ASCII - if I could read this group, I
wouldn't have to ask these questions!  Thanks.
