It sounds as you're working on some Linux based PDA like "Linux Zaurus"
by SHARP. Dillo is running on Qt on framebuffer? Or, it is running on X11?
The font handling is very different between these 2 foundations.

If you execute 
	locale -a | grep ja_JP
you can get the list of ja_JP.XXX locales that libc on your system
supports. Could you find ja_JP.UTF-8?

Japanese text in widget except of button (e.g. textbox widget used by
editors) is displayed correctly? I'm not sure whether Japanese developers
had ever tested gtk+-1.2 well on non-X11 systems.
