Sounds to me like your X server doesn't like it when
Netscape tries to use Japanese fonts.  I assume you did
sucessfully display Japanese characters in X with `kterm'
etc - so it is not the Japanese fonts per se that cause a
problem.  Which X server are you using and which graphics
chip does your notebook have? 

And btw, when I have the chance to talk to you, as I am a
happy edict user, thanks very much for the efforts that you
put into this project.

Cheers,

Manuel
