Windows 2000 client and Japanese Character Display

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

For applications with Windows 2000 that have Japanese keyboard installed,
Verdana displays Japanese characters as all boxes (meaning the font is not
supported). However, works on Windows XP. Is there an updated font available
for Windows 2000? Also, is there any reason why the font would have been
expanded to include the full set of characters when the Japanese keyboard
support was installed?
