Answer
Hi

You should have determined WHICH AUTOCAD the Japanese creators used -- it is important.

My best reading of your question suggests:

Sorry, but maybe your mistake is thinking that installing the font in Windows is installing it in AutoCAD -- ???????????

Did you go to OPTIONS >>Support File Search Path, and see where the AutoCAD fonts are stored, and put the new font THERE?

If so, then your problem is that the file was created in the Japanese version of AutoCAD, and I am sorry to say I cant solve that.

BUT -- I LOOKED FOR ARTICLES - SEE IF THIS HELPS
