Thank you for your reply Hiro.
Unfortunately I've tried that one, without success.

Early on I went out to various text-based Japanese sites to see how 
they handled the HTML code.  I've tried a number of metatags such as:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=x-sjis">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=EUC-JP">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;
CHARSET=iso-2022-jp">

etc. ...  fumbling about ... as one does.
.... but with no noticible change to the display.

It's not random 'garbage'.  It looks like the Mac/JLK/Netscape is trying
to display the Japanese characters, but it's meaningless (so I'm told).

Displayed locally on the Mac/JLK/Netscape, the page is fine, 
- no problems.   Displayed from the Linux server - problems.

There's something I'm missing here.  
Thanks again for the help.
