Latin is the other name for ISO-8859_1 which is the basic encoding of all
PCs. EUC_JP is not supported by Windows as it belongs to the Unix world.
But Windows has native support of Windows Japanese fonts. This is a
historical fact, before UTF-8, Windows could already display Japanese fonts.
So if we know what is the name of the encoding (let's call it WIN_JP), maybe
we can ask it be included in PostgreSQL server-side. This can easily be done
because PostgreSQL is based on Recode and iconv which support almost all
existing fonts/encodings.
Then, all we have to do is:
1) SET CLIENT_ENCODING = WIN_JP
2) select the right font in pgAdmin2
and this should work.
If it does not work, we can always ask a Japanese developper to recompile
pgAdmin2 on a localized version of VB. If there is a way to use VB under
Japanese systems, there is a solution for pgAdmin2...
