Computing in the Japanese Language: Technical issues

Guide to Japanese Computing This link deserves special mention. The University of Washington maintains an extensive library of freeware for Japanese computing, and has information on working with Mac, IBM, Unix, and Amiga platforms. This is your 'one-stop shopping center' for Japanese software.
Ken Lunde's Home Page This link also deserves special mention. Ken Lunde is an employee of Adobe, and did most of the groundbreaking work in making Kanji fonts work with modern Microcomputers. If you have any question about Chinese, Japanese, or Korean fonts, Ken Lunde probably knows the answer.
Jim Breen's Japanese Page Another special mention: Jim Breen is the leader of the amazing EJDICT project. EJDICT is a freeware English/Japanese dictionary database. The dictionary can be used on virtually any computer. I highly recommend EJDICT.
Japanese Browsers Tips on setting up Netscape and other Web browsing software for reading Japanese text. A very useful page, with many other interesting links.
