view Japanese fonts and input Japanese on non-Japanese computers

Submitted by bdmp on December 5, 2007 - 4:37am

So I have many Japanese friends in Europe and when we use computers at shops many times they do not support Japanese so it is hard to communicate. So, I am looking for a way I can bring my own fonts and input method. There are a few programs that can do something like this but they are very expensive. I have been using most of my portable apps with Mojo pack, which lets you install programs directly into your usb key or whatnot. That way I can use a non portable app on a usb key. Does anyone have any ideas about how to do this?

Hi,
with 8gb (& larder) usb card now available, it would be nice to have a portable mixing software such as Mixx
http://mixxx.sourceforge.net/
you could conviniently take along with you a more than decent DJ set to your friends'party + mixing software !!!!
I do not have the skills to work on such a project but I am pretty sure you can see my point
thanks
Ben

I know there is a possibility to copy your total commander stuff to usb, but can't you make a version witch is directly installable for PortableApps? You can ask it to the guy who developes totalcmd. Sorry for my English, but I'm dutch and only 14 years ;),
