	What I do for the the Hebrew and Arabic Operting Systems (and it works for
the Kanji too (I've done that before as well) is to create a special file 
containing the required resources for supporting the Interface System. (This
includes the FONTs, sicns, INTL, inlx, etc. resources). I then patch my copy of
Suitcase to automaticaly read in these resources (madify the SCty resource) and
just put the INIT into the system folder and reboot. (Make sure that yoiu rename
Suitcase to !Suitcase so taht it  loads early in the boot cycle)
	You won't get the Kanji Menus or Dialogs but you will be able to enter the
Kanji Text into any aplication that supports the Script Manager.

	I don't know but I'm sure Jordan may have an answer as to any thing dealing
with Kanji 2.0
