Japanese on Vista?

[soulmancer]

I can get Ys Origin to run on my Vista 64bit, but it crashes in dialogue boxes and is not displaying in japanese.

How do I get Vista to display japanese fonts... Or would the translation patch fix this issue?

Can't say I know how 64bit Vista differs from 32bit, but at least for my 32bit it was:

Control Panel -> Classic View -> Regional and Language Settings -> Administrative -> Change System Locale -> Japanese -> OK -> OK.

The translation patch would, I imagine, not require you to change the system locale, but it depends if you're planning on holding out for that or want to try playing it in Japanese.
