Hi Holger!

Thanks for the tips - but, unfortunately, I can't read/write 
Chinesse/Korean/Japaneese.
I was just studing how MS IE /Outlook behave in situation when when there is a 
page (mail) in Japaneese, so finally I finished updates for my Win98. And 
installed those downloaded fonts on Linux.

I think my Linux-Mandrake also has some Asian fonts, but  (to my shame) I 
haven't installed them (yet)...
