My spouse wanted a printout of a letter that I had e-mailed in Japanese.
When I attempted to print it out from KMail, it only left blanks where the
Japanese characters were, although they appeared on screen.

Off to YAST and a somewhat legthy download and installation of Japanese as a
second language. I now have SCIM KDE frontend in my tray and can print
Japanese from OpenOffice. :-)

Well, if I didn't write the e-mail in Japanese, I'm really in Dutch. ;-)

Your English is so good that I often forget that those whose first language
is other than English are not familiar with all of our strange idiomatic
expressions. To "be in Dutch" is an example of that. It literally means:
"To be in trouble with someone."
