[libreoffice-users] fonts?

Hi :)
Brilliant!!  I think you are right about the font being the problem.  I think we have had this 
problem a couple of times before in other languages mostly with non-RTL scripts.  Now we just need 
someone that knows a lot about fonts!
Regards from
Tom :)

To download and install English LibreOffice and the Japanese language pack, go to:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Go down to the green drop boxes and make sure you see/choose Windows in one and the Japanese 
language in the other.

If there is any problems doing that, go down farther and choose "Other way to download . . .".

Then choose 3.4.4, then Windows.  Click on the Helppacks to go down to the Japanese one.

Here are the direct links, to the Windows download and the the help pack .
[if I got the language code correct]

The question of "gibberish":
Could there be some font issues where there is not "default" English system font and the English 
text is written in using the Japanese glyphs that are in the font instead of the English letters?  
I do not know enough about the Japanese fonts, but I did see one or two that did just that, though 
most of the fonts I use for foreign languages are Unicode so the Japanese fonts are somewhere else.
