Are you sure you need to do anything?

My understanding is that all that is generally missing is the fonts. But 
IE, at least, will download a font file if it is needed.

Way back in 2003 I developed a little web page, here:
   http://www.anzio.com/~ras/testcharsets.htm
This has four frames in it, each with a different HTM file in it; one in 
Japanese, one in Korean, one in Big5 Chinese and one in GB Chinese. If you 
point a browser to this page, it should ask you if you want to install the 
needed fonts. Say yes, and off it goes.

Please report your results.
