- Japanese support: character input, encodings, fonts, shell commands
- japanese56.mep allows inline input of Japanese characters, adds the
Japanese encodings, and uses Japanese fonts. (5.6 already supports Unicode characters in
calls to shell commands.) The Japanese patch should only be loaded if the OS locale is set
to Japanese before starting MetaEdit+. See japanese56.txt
for more details.
