I want a page on my site to be in Japanese.
Can I embed fonts or something so users don't see all the little boxes and question marks and crap that appear if someone doesn't have all the stuff localy that they need to see the japanese text.
There has got to be a slick way of doing this.


 
You need to encode your document in EUC/JIS/ or Shift-JIS. And whomever is viewing it must have that language installed for their browser to view it ( dont worry, its pretty much standard anyway ).

otehr than making every single text a graphic ( slower loading times ).


Examples (these go in your head tags - use anyone , not all ):
Code:
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=x-sjis&quot;>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=Shift_JIS&quot;>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-2022-jp&quot;>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=EUC-JP&quot;>
