I've been playing at making foafnaut more flexible so non-developers can
change the appearance of it, the look is now abstracted out of the
javascript in seperate documents.  This 1st I've done is a version which
uses MS Arial Unicode as a font for the people, which should let the
japanese characters be visible if you have that font.  If there are other
fonts I could use, just let me know, but lists of fonts don't work so well
in ASV unfortunately.
