Having the exact same problem, unmerged ALL gnome stuff and evo, deleted
all config files I could find, then remerged evo-1.0.8, but still no
Japanese. Moved to sylpheed in the meanwhile, till I can track down the
prob, second the hating of gtkhtml, and also the lackluster support for
non-western fontsets in evo and gnome.

p.s. also lost Japanese support in Gnome2, but not so worried about that
as I mainly use fluxbox.
