How to display japanese characters (kanji) in Iceweasel (firefox) of Debian Lenny

I thought I should write this down and let it be public knowledge before I forgot. There are many ways suggested in internet but none works for me.

Install ttf-sazanami-gothic, which can be done by running "apt-get install ttf-sazanami-gothic".

Debian 5.0.4 (Lenny) with Iceweasel 3.0.6.

My employees are holding a strike, yay!

Today almost 80% of my employees are holding a strike. The cause was pretty simple, one old employee who had a pretty bad track record was.. verbally disciplined.

But now I must deal with some future consequences... *sigh*

A quote from "Virgin": "Saya Masih Perawan".

The intended readers of this post are liberals. You have been warned. I had just turned on my tv and saw the last minutes of the movie "Virgin" (2004), made in Indonesia. It's the first time I see this movie. The movie title's alone is enough to cause controversy in Indonesia, a country with the largest moslem population in the world.

A high school girl is standing on a platform talking about something (I didn't pay attention). Many people such as fellow students and some adults watch her. After she finish talking, she pause. But everybody seems waiting her to say something. Finally...
