Now that you mention it, I've never made a list. I think version 1 of 
gjiten used LANGUAGE instead of LC_CTYPE. Also, The Gimp will only use 
Japanese fonts if LC_ALL is set to ja_JP, as far as I can remember. Of 
course, Gimp also crashes if you try to make logos with large Japanese 
fonts.

Anyway, if this isn't a serious issue, I'll modify the howto to include 
LC_CTYPE. Thanks for the input.
