"Considering that JWM combines a vocabulary and Kanji study system, a word processor, a Japanese text translation aid, and a computerized Japanese-English dictionary - and with the promise of free upgrades and easy access to vital freeware at [Lava Software's] web site - you can hardly go wrong for $99 (the current single user edition price), which is less than the cost of a (restrained) night out in Tokyo.
A search ... of the Kanji which can be used to write the common given name 'Masao' revealed 108 possibilities. The search took all of 17 seconds, from typing the word until the full list was displayed on screen - and I'm not a particularly fast typist. 'Radical!' as the kids would say.
I love the special Kanji font JWM provides, which was "developed from
characters written by a master Japanese calligrapher.' These are more aesthetically
pleasing than the businesslike fonts which come with the Japanese Language
Kit."

of Japanese."
