Just in case you don't have these installed already, here are some free fonts:

Just make sure that you already have enabled support for viewing CJK fonts (Chinese-Japanese-Korean).  I know for XP, it must be set manually.  I'm not sure for OSX.  I'm not sure for Ubuntu either, whether or not you have to manually enable in order to view, since I enable it by habit.

I don't know about XP, but on 2k you need to have the install disk to enable CJK support.

OSX has no problems with Asian fonts.

I believe you do have to have the install disc for that.

As my system was a preload, when I restored the factory preload, the files were in C:\i386.

I've always looked up Asian sites, always had Mac, and I have never had any form of trouble at all.
