I have made pages where it works, so I expect it is either a browser bug, or a config problem.

This works fine! Both text and the buttons have Japanese on them. I am using Netscape 3.0 on Windows 
95 at the moment.

What is interesting is that it only works if I set the encoding type to Japanese Auto-detect. If I 
force it to be either of Japanese-SJIS *or* Japanese-EUC I get garbage.
This is not logical, but I have no explanation :-)
