Anybody know if eDrawings for MAC can be setup to display Japanese Characters? I work for a wholly-owned American subsidiary of a Japanese Corporation and need to view Japanese DXF and DWG files.

The only app that views all three types of Japanese characters is Volo View 3 accessible via Parallels Desktop 4.0/Win XP Pro SP3.

One of our Japanese guys said he checked it out on Japanese forums and the only recommended app is Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is a little pricey when all I need to do is view Japanese characters on DXF/DWGs... on my Mac!

Thanks,
