I know that XFree did not automatically support 2-byte character. Programmers
had to hack xterm and X to get them to display CJK 2-byte character. I did 
compile a specially hacked xterm and specially hacked vi editor to get them
to display an Asian language - Chinese. I believe I answered this question
before but perhaps vaguely. I may be wrong because I have not worked with
XFree version 4 in Chinese lately. I worked on XFree version 3 to display
Chinese in 2-byte format.

So perhaps Suhaib and Harold are up to date on the capability of XFree 
and XWin.exe

It appears that you are looking for Japanese support. If so, you may want
to consider obtaining the sources for Turbolinux's XFree, They support Chinese
and Japanese languages.

Hope this helps
