Arigatou.  We got good news, and we got bad news.  The good news is
that I've reproduced the problem, although with Netscape 2.02, and
futzing with the Japanese fonts does *not* change the bottons, so they 
must use resources elsewhere even though they appear within the
document display area.

Looking in Netscape.ad for 3.0beta4, we have

! ============================================================================
! Fonts in the widgets.
! These fonts are all down in Motif land, and thus are not controlled by the
! font selector on the Preferences dialog.  That applies only to fonts in
! the document display area.
! ============================================================================

which is even better news, I was RIGHT!!  :-)  Some more possibly
relevant pieces---

*fontList:			-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*

Probably irrelevant, since the buttons seem to be Courier font.

*XmTextField.fontList:		-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
*XmText.fontList:		-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
*XmList*fontList:		-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*

* popup*fontList:		-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
*docinfoButton.fontList:      -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
*fontSize.XmPushButtonGadget.labelType: STRING

You could try the *XmTextField.fontList resource, but probably the
resource name ought to have Button in it.  So *XmPushButton.labelFont
or *XmPushButtonGadget.labelFont, or either of those with "fontList"
instead of "labelFont".  (Anybody have the Motif docs and know what
the font resource for a XmPushButton is?)  *docinfoButton.fontList is
helvetica by default, so I don't think that's right.  Lots of cut and
try here, I'm afraid, and I haven't got time for it.

As for what font you want to put in there, try
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-jisx0208-* for starters.  Or fire up
xlsfonts and look around for jisx0208 fonts.

I don't know that this will work, unfortunately.  One would hope that
Buttons can have labels in any character set, but I don't know if it's 
true (I think it is).  Good luck.
