Language Kits: Setting Network Browser to Show Foreign File Names

I am using the Japanese Language Kit with Mac OS 8.5. I am using the Network Browser to view servers on my AppleTalk network. There are some AppleTalk zones and servers with Japanese file names, but instead of Japanese characters, I only see unreadable garbage text. I registered Network Browser as Japanese using the Language Register application, but that did not change the way names are displayed in the zone/server list. How do I resolve this?
The Language Kit installs the Language Register application in the Apple Extras folder. If you have installed the required Language Kit Updater for Mac OS 8.5, a newer version of the Language Register may be installed in the Utilities folder.

To set up the Network Browser to properly display foreign file names properly:


Note: Changing the Views Font setting also changes the font that the Finder uses to display file and folder names.

The manual that came with your Language Kit contains a section describing how to view foreign file names correctly in the Finder. Consult this section for information on which Views font is correct for your particular Language Kit.
