   Hello,

   I've just started a new blog about my year teaching in Japan. However, I've hit a bit of a snag.

   http://kureaa.com/?page_id=2

   I've discovered that typing in Japanese displays as question marks. I've looked through the support documents, and the only thing I can find is old documentation about changing your blog to UTF-8. I checked, and my blog already is UTF-8.

   Is anybody able to help me?

   Add Japanese fonts to font-family in style.css:
   

   body{
   font-family:"ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3","ＭＳ Ｐゴシック",Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,sans-serif;
   }

   I don't think it worked. It changed the appearance of the font on my website. I retyped the Japanese and saved, and it's still question marks.

   Have you installed any Japanese font on your machine?
   And check whether your browser supports it.

   Yes, I can both type and view Japanese.

   I can't remember where I found it now, but I had to remove these lines from the config file.

   /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
   
   /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');

   The problem was due to Fantastico.

   Hi there,

   I just posted in a different thread on a similar problem which I was able to resolve without too much hassle.
