System Recommendation

System recommendation to view this site

There are several tools used to view Japanese web sites on the market.

IBM-PC clones:

1. MS Windows 2000, NT or XP
   Should have no problems for browsing Japanese characters. If not, install Japanese fonts from setup CD, and set your browser's character code to "Japanese Auto Detect"
   
   
2. MS Windows 95 or later (Japanese version)
   Perfect for Japanese browsing and input, but expensive + difficult to purchase in countries other than Japan. For other language versions, install Global IME from Microsoft site.
   
   
3. MS Windows 3.0 or later with AsianSuite
   AsianSuite has good performance for Japanese net browsing and input. For approximately $US 200 it includes three Japanese TrueType fonts. A sample version, without TrueType fonts is downloadable from its site.
   
   
4. MS Windows 3.0 or later with TwinBridge Japanese Partner
   TwinBridge is unicode capable. Price varies depending on the number of Japanese TrueType fonts. Downloadable from its site.
   
   
5. MS Windows 3.0 or later with TwinBridge AsianViewer
   An inexpensive solution to browsing Japanese. Not capable of Japanese input. $US 30. Downloadable from its site.

Apple Macintosh or its clones:

1. MacOS 9, X
   The latest MacOS versions should have no problem with browsing Japanese characters. If not, install Japanese Language Kit from the Installer CD by selecting "custom install"
