I have Windows 98 and found that I have Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji already installed. I don't speak Japanese, so I can't say how complete the Kanji set is. It's also got Armenian, Georgian, Oriya, Thai, Gujurati and all sorts of alphabets that I'm unlikely ever to use. There are at least three different fonts that contain the kana: Arial Unicode, Lucida Unicode and Mingu. Windows XP is more advanced than Windows 98, so presumably you'll find them installed on your PC. I'm assuming it's a desk-top, that is. If it's a lap-top, then it probably will not have been installed. If it's a Windows XP desk-top and the Japanese characters are not there, then I suggest you erase the systems disk and instal Windows 98.
