Just to add to this last comment, the installer linked to from there:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/lynx-win32-pata/18478/Lynx286dev16TH.exe
is set up for Japanese display.  What I did, once fetched, was to copy
the LYNX.CFG file out of the org_docs subdirectory into the top
directory of the branch, destroying the jp version provided there.
