Japanese language causing problems

Hi.

I'm creating a Table of Contents in Japanese but my formatting is not coming out as is set in my Reference Page. I've done TOCs in many foreign languages so I'm pretty confident my settings are correct. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Japanese language / font? Does FrameMaker 12 support Hyojuno language? I've tried to fake my way through it by manually changing the font size / weight to what they're supposed to be, but then the font changes to question marks (even when only changing the font size). I've included some pics below. Anyone have any thoughts on what's going on? Thanks.

This is what it looks like now with the incorrect formatting in the Head 1s. They need to be the same size as the Head 2, but bold. The leader lines are also missing.

Here's a look at the Paragraph Designer for my Reference Page. The Language is set to English because I don't have Hyojungo as an option.

And here's my tab stops on my Reference Page that should be creating the leader lines.

TIA.

Here is the setup in one of my parent company's manuals. For the leader line, for HeadingTOC1 I think it should be like the one shown below, with a Right tab (your setting shows a leader for the Left tab).

I notice that you have 'US English' selected as the language. Try changing it to 'Nihongo' (i.e., Japanese).

Have you tried "MS明朝" or "MS ゴシック"? (On my English version of FM12 they are listed 3rd and 4th from the bottom of the list of available fonts. This is the font my parent company uses in their FM manuals.
