I'm trying to get my American computer to read Japanese java plug-in
programs, such as chat.yahoo.co.jp and the "neko shooking" game at
www.apricotweb.com

Unfortunately, all I get are tiny vertical lines. So, how do I
remedy this?

By the way, I don't know much about Java programming so if there's a
quick fix way please let me know. If not, then I'd appreciate some
easy to follow instructions.
