Hi. First I would like to thank everyone who is making Geeklog available to public. Without you I could never have such a wonderful site.
I have a problem and would like your advice. I can use Japanese in editing story and making polls etc. when I select Japanese language in Yahoo theme. However, when I switch to other themes such as classic theme, Japanese texts get garbled. I mean the characters get messed up. Some themes are really multilingual, while others are not? What are the differences?

Thank you for your response. I just figured it out.
I just needed to change the font style in style.css because western
fonts cannot show the Japanese fonts properly. So I just removed
the font style.
-----------------------------------------
layout/clean/style.css
line 117~121
input { color: #000033; background-color: #dde3ef;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-
weight:
plain; }
TEXTAREA { color: #000033; font-size: 10px; font-family:
Verdana,
Helvetica, Arial; background-color: #dde3ef }

the japanese.php language file included with geeklog is encoded in EUC_JP, but most input input as straight UTF-8 unicode.
save the language/japanese.php file in unicode with some unicode editor (notepad in Windows 2000 or XP works, as does Microsoft Word 2000, and many more), or get a modified version from my site here:
http://www.localsteve.cc/files/utf8-japanese.php
copy this file into the language directory and when you choose a language, select utf8-japanese instead.
now change the default charset variable $_CONF['default_charset'] in config.php to 'utf-8'. also make sure the following line is the public_html/layout/Yahoo/header.thtml file:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset={charset}">
hope this helps.
