[WIN8] how do I display filenames using multibyte characters (Japanese)?

[mrjayviper]

I have some japanese songs in my collection. Some of it are in Japanese characters and the characters display as boxes in Windows Explorer.

On Windows7, they display correctly without installing/setting anything.

I tried adding a Japanese language pack which does nothing. There's no download for the pack. It says it's not available.

thanks!

I guess you'll have to install some fonts. Not sure which ones, though.

Windows 8 was launched in japan and I bet they don't have a problem seeing engrish characters, but I could be wrong. They developed an instantaneous voice translator ap. If you can't add it to your languages you are sol.
