Mac user speaking...
I have mailed Netscape user support, and they never told me how I am to
view Japanese pages. All they told me was that change the encoding to the
desired language, but even after I did that (This is what I had been
trying
before I mailed these guys), it still won't display Japanese. Anyone here
with
Us Mac OS 7 or 8 know how to fix this problem?

As far as I know, getting the "Japanese Language Kit" from Apple (about
$150) is the only way to view Japanese web pages on the Mac under the US
version of Mac System software. (It also lets you run software intended to
run on the Japanese Mac OS, and input Japanese Text in Shift-JIS
encoding).
I know of no free or shareware solutions for web viewing on the Mac
itself,
though I think there's a very slow web gateway that translates Kanji/kana
into GIFs.

I gather the Netscape/MISE hack takes advantage of some sort of Windows
Unicode font format. The Japanese Language Kit uses Apple WorldScript.

i don't know much about macs or that i'm helping at all but i use
something called mview which runs as a separate program. it does all the
character "translations" for me. goto shareware.com and look up japanese
view or mview or something along that line.

hope this helps
