In recently, I have to write some paper in Japanese. I'd like to try to use latex, but there are some problem to use the fonts belongs to China, Japan, and Korea.
There are some way to fix this problem, just like

You can just click OK and then you will build your own latex environment.
You can use TeXworks as your editor, which is in the installed folder
w32tex\share\texworks\TeXworks.exe
But there still have some problem that the pdf reader combine with TeXworks is not works well for Japanese character, so find out
w32tex\share\texmf-local\fonts\map\dvipdfmx\base\cid-x.map
open it with notepad, and changes
