Still couldn't fix the issue with the Japanese characters, but soon I'm making a real Kubuntu Gutsy install (actually I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy but with KDE instead of Gnome)...

Irene, I don't have any great linux experience, but this is what I would try.. (sorry if you've already tried these already).. as an exercise try installing another browser and see what happens. Another thing you can try is opening a Japanese-encoded file, e.g. XML or unicode text file in some other application like a simple text editor (ideally one that is unicode aware) to see if the Japanese chars appear ok. If these files appear ok, then it's not a font issue. If you need a sample Japanese text file or XML file with Japanese chars for testing, let me know.

I've thinked again on the whole thing, I guess the problem is that the font you are using doesn't support (all) japanese characters...

I have already tried other browsers and I tried to load up a Japanese document in Kate which showed up fine, however if I load that document in Firefox some characters are missing.. so must be a problem with Firefox >_<
