On Microsoft Windows I don't get these problems at all with Firefox,
even though I downloaded the English language version and haven't done
anything in particular to set it up to read Japanese pages.

Is there a cure for Firefox on Linux, and if so, what is it?


could you give us the following info:

- your linux distribution

Fedora Core 4

- version of firefox

1.5

- links to webpages with the 'problematic' kanji-displaying
- screenshots showing the problem with those webpages
