I understand. With the patch I recently posted here you should be able to
see the text in widgets correctly even in EUC-JP. However the console
output still is in UTF-8 and there are other issues with it.
I will try to fix those problems soon.

The screenshots are great. Thank you. To fix the message window problems
try changing in 'data/freeciv.rc-2.0' all entries that are like this:

"Console 10"            "Console Bold 12"

to:

"Monospace 10"          "Monospace Bold 12"

Does that fix it? By the way, after changing the fonts like i said above,
do you still get those "WARNING **" messages in the console?
