Adding Web safe Japanese fonts to muse

Question

Dear Muse team
I'm having the same problem as Richard Grehan
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5492379#5492379
I'm working in both Japanese and English but i use an english operating system, I'd like to add some websafe japanese fonts to muse via Typekit, Abhishek.G suggested the following:
- Temporarily switch to Japanese
- Create some sample text and cycle through the Japanese web-safe fonts you want to use so they appear in your "Recently Used Fonts" list
- Revert to English
- Use the Japanese web-safe fonts from the "Recently Used Fonts" list
However this method doesn't allow you to add new fonts and you can only use the web safe fonts already on your system. When you try to search on typekit you are confronted with the same list of non-Japanese fonts see above. Using the fonts already on my system gives me a choice of one font, not really ideal. I know many people out there who have to design bilingual sites so if you could suggest another method to access websafe Japanese fonts in muse I'd be most grateful. Ideally I'd like to keep my operating system in English.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you not seeing ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3, ヒラギノ明朝 Pro W3, Osaka－等幅 in the Web Safe fonts section in Japanese version of Muse?
If so, please post  a screenshot.
As for using Arial, please note that Arial does not include Japanese characters. The browser/OS will use a fallback font, which is why it appears to work. However, different fallback fonts may be used for different site visitors, so your won't have a consistent look-and-feel.
