But canna isn't, according to the Warning.

There are effectively library modules for each locale. Does
"locale -a | more" tell you anything. (I suspect you don't have
ja_JP installed.)

AFAICR Debian has a handy locale setup utility, but since I don't
use Debian, I don't recall the details.

If I were you, I'd go for a distro with stronger non-techo user
support, such as SuSE or Fedora. In the case of SuSE Mike Fabian,
who has lived in Japan, looks after the CJK side and is very ready to
help. His WWW pages are good value.

I'd also suggest joining the TLUG mailing list. There are some strong
Debian people there who'd lend a hand.

Isn't there a "+" next to the Appearance? Click it to open the tree.
