Meadow: Can't display Japanese characters



[I originally tried to send this to the Meadow mailing list but it just
bounced back.

I'm sending it to this list since it is reasonably related.]

Hello,

I have been trying without success to get Meadow to display Japanese
characters properly on my Win98 machine. I am seeing empty square boxes
instead of the characters.

What confuses me is that I can see Japanese fine in Emacs, but not Meadow.
One thing I noticed was that when I Shift-LeftClick a neutral area in
Emacs, I the Windows font selection window pops up and I can select "MS
Gothic" and then I see all the Japanese characters fine. But when I
Shift-LeftClick in Meadow, I get a small menu with "Font" and "Fontset" on
it. I try selecting the different options in that menu but I either see
junk characters or blank boxes on the screen when I try to view a Japanese
file.

Can someone help me get this working please? Also, once I get this
working, how do I input Japanese characters?

Thanks,

I've tried using the following .emacs file with things that I copied and
pasted from the Meadow and Emacs FAQs:

(mw32-ime-initialize)
(setq default-input-method "MW32-IME")
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'sjis)
(create-fontset-from-request
  "myfontset"
  '((width . 8)
    (height . 12)
    (fixed . t)
    (italic . nil))
  '((family . "Courier")
    (family . "MS Gothic")))
