------------------
I manage a lab of Mac G4's.
When students bring a word document written in Japanese on a PC using the font MS-mincho, which seems to be the
standard MS font for Japanese, it doesn't show up on the Mac. It's easy enough to select all and choose a new
Japanese font on the Mac, but most students don't know to do this; they think their file has disappeared.

Is there a MS-Mincho font I can install on the Macs?  Can I just rename a copy of a Mac Japanese font "MS Mincho"?

regards from sunny Portland.
