| I'm very new to gentoo linux, and I was wondering if someone could point me to instructions for installing Japanese fonts; I haven't been able to find anything so far. (My desktop environment is OpenBox) Thanks. |

Jst look in /usr/portage/media-fonts. There are tons of fonts in it, also Japanese ones. I do not know which ones are japanese or cinese or korea, but:
alee-fonts - Lee Hangul's fonts
aquafont and aquapfont - handwritten Japanese fixed-width
etc

| The kochi fonts are awesome too. Visit Sudrien's thread for info if you want to setup Japanese input as well as read it. |

You should be able to do this by installing the kochi fonts and there is a section about adding the path that the fonts are in to the xorg.conf fonts section in order to utilize them.
Here's the fonts package:
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ esearch kochi
[ Results for search key : kochi ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* media-fonts/kochi-substitute
Latest version available: 20030809-r3

Adding nls and cjk support to your USE variable and reemerging world with emerge --newuse world might help as well.
You can basically use Sudrien's faq like I mentioned before omitting the uim/scim install and have Japanese support in all supported programs. |
