Picoreplayer Japanese/Chinese characters display as pinyin?

Would you get those characters when running LMS from a different
platform (PC or Mac)?

I don't think the issue is the font. The references you found most
likely apply to the Squeezeplay based devices. But for display on the
Classic I thought we had a more or less complete font. The problem here
is that it requires a Perl module which might be missing from pCP.

What if you restarted LMS only (not pCP)?
