Ahh yes, this is the catch.  I don't have Japanese Solaris.  However,
since the Japanese fonts are there, my assumption is that there
is a way to make this happen by setting the Locale.  A quick
look at my /usr/dt/app-defaults shows that there is a C directory
with the app-defaults for stuff like Dtterm Dtwm Dtmail and Dtpad.

I think that on Japanese Solaris you might have something like
ja_JP.ujis in a parallel branch to the C directory?  I think that
if I see the Linux CDE running with Japanese, then I can probably
get English CDE for Solaris happening with Japanese.  There is 
probably only one version of CDE for Linux, the English one????

Alternately, the Japanese Solaris app-defaults might work with
Linux CDE if the fonts were set properly.  This is what the
default faults are set to:

 ! The following resource specifies the fonts that can be chosen from the
 ! font size pulldown/popup menu:
 *userFontList: \
 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xxs*-*-*-*-*-m-*:\n\
 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-m-*:\n\
 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-m-*:\n\
 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-m-*:\n\
 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-l*-*-*-*-*-m-*:\n\
 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xl*-*-*-*-*-m-*:\n\
 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xxl*-*-*-*-*-m-*:


I've tried dozens of other system fonts.

The more I think about it, the more I see the hack-value in
getting Linux CDE.  What is it, 20,000 yen or so?????   I'm
ready to test it out at the meeting.  Thanks to Joe Marchak
for setting it up.  I'll be the guy wearing the Linux Caldera
t-shirt (thanks Jim Schweizer!)
