@NiLuJe -- Thanks for the tip about being able to use other font types! I did a little looking online to see what Japanese font people seem to like and Meiryo seems to be by far the best one. And if you have a windows machine (Vista or 7) it should already be on there. :-) I think it can also be downloaded by XP people for free.

So, I renamed meiryo.ttc as Serif_Regular.ttf and meiryob.ttc as Serif_Bold.ttf and it looks wonderful. Now even the Japanese in my documents appear properly and nice.

Thanks again!

PS -- XP users can download it for free: here.
