Problem for display of Japanese in applications' menus.

[Bertrand chibiberu]

Hello,

I use some applications like IE 6 or Mozilla 1.4 (English Version) on 2 PCs,
one with Win2K+SP3 (English), the other with WinXP+SP1 (English). On both
PCs I installed the support for Japanese language (Japanese IME,...)uning
the Regional Option control panel.
On the PC running Win2K, I also turned the default system language to
Japanese.
On the PC running WinXP, I also turned the default language for non-Unicode
applications to Japanese

THE PROBLEM IS:
- On the PC running Win2K, everything is doing normally. Especially, if I
have in my IE or Mozilla some favorites with a name in Japanese (using
Japanese characters), they are well displayed.
- BUT, on the PC running WinXP, I can't get my Japanese favorites displayed
well. They are all displayed using a 1-byte western script font, so I can't
resd them !

Does anybody have an idea of where it comes from and how I can fix this
problem ?

In fact, it seems that the "default language for non-Unicode applications"
option in WindowsXP does NOT correspond to the " Default language setting
for the system" option of Win2K. The problem is : where can I find the
equivalent option in WinXP ?

Thanks A LOT in advance
