Hello,
I use this in a alias to view images in a slideshow with media-gfx/feh :

Code:
feh --quiet --hide-pointer --borderless --draw-filename --image-bg black --slideshow-delay 5 --auto-zoom --fullscreen --randomize --recursive


--draw-filename shows the filename in the top left corner

For some reason Japanese characters are not rendering correctly. (A bunch of white square instead)
What am I missing ? I have no issue with other applications or terminal to show Japanese so it doesn't look like a locale issue.

Sorry, another case of RTFM 8)
You need to add the desired font with -C & -e option.
Working example for Japanese with nice readable characters :
Code:
-C /usr/share/fonts/takao-fonts/ -e TakaoMincho/20
