I'll fix that by checking a FREECIV_NETWORK_CHARSET environment variable.
In your case you could set that to UTF-8 or EUC-JP.

BTW I still haven't added your gdk_fontset_load() patch to the GTK+ 1.2
client. I will look better into that soon.

Yes, this sounds like a good solution. However radical solutions like that
will have to wait until after the next release.

Maybe it is a theme problem. I once had problems in GTK+ because KDE
liked to automatically generate its own GTK+ theme and put it in
~/.gtkrc.
