Support for Japanese characters ?

Hi there,

I'm just starting with LibreElec and I was wondering if there was any way I could get Kodi to display Japanese characters. I have some Japanese music in my library and the names just appear as squares on my hdmi screen - even though they display finely on my remote app.

I wish I could just install an add-on that would the job, but I'm afraid it might be more complicated, am I right ?

For info, this also enables the correct display of simplified and complex Chinese characters, etc.
