Sigh.  XEmacs has supported JIS X 0212 since version 20.0 (assuming
you could get v 20.0 to stay up long enough do display anything, often
a doubtful proposition ;-).  You just needed to add fonts.  The fonts
are available at ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/aux/intlfonts/ or somethign like
that, as well as at GNU mirrors.  Debian has them packaged, but I
don't recall which package.

I'm not sure if XEmacs handles this.

Meadow is deep alpha and rather risky.  Haven't seen any recent
reports of untimely death on the Mule lists so probably it's stablized
somewhat.
