As far as I know, the term "nihongo" is japanese for "japanese language". If you are looking for the name of the font (e.g. courier) it no doubt is different than nihongo. Another somewhat interesting question is whether the characters you have are katakana, hiragana or "kanji". Japanese is written with all three, two are "sylabets" and the third (kanji) is idiograms. I would have guessed that the sample you have would be katakana. Actually, I would have thought that Fortran processors with Nihongo support would have selected katakana characters to support first. So, if I'm right, I would *hope* that what you have is katakana ;> It would be possible (perhaps even interesting) to have a Fortran implementation which used the KIND facility to provide all three sets of characters. However, I have no idea if anyone has done so. -- -------- Keith H.
