Sonata doesn't show japanese character correctly.

In playlist/ library/ now playing ( well, just everything ) it show japanese character as a box.  I guess it maybe something to do with font.

Japanese character is show correctly in mpc, so that's not the cause. I use awesome as my wm.

Anybody has this problem as well ?  I tried search in forum and install arphic font, but no use.

thanks

Install the package ttf-fireflysung and your problems should be fixed.

Ye, that explains why it works on one of my machines, but not on the other? And how about special characters in other languages? Accents in Spanish and unlaud in German for example? How to make those work?

Thanks. That solve half of the song, but some song still has giberish name. Maybe my song has encoding problem ? Any good tag editor in linux maybe ?
