If you just want to be able to type in Japanese in an HTML document, all you need is Windows IME. It's a free download off Microsoft's web site and works for any windows (or mac I think) OS.
If you download the Japanese fonts all you can do is look at Japanese characters, but get the ime and you can type all you want. It works with Office 2000, Outlook, and Internet Explorer.

and it's very nice.
One problem with these is that many gaijin like myself end up putting the wrong kanji in your documents. If you don't know kanji, try to put [ ]'s with hiragana next to what you're attempting to say.
for example
"--{͌uvB
This says nihon go wa tsuki da.
As for Japanese, it's a moon.
It should read
"--{͍D
This says nihon go wa suki da.
[i] like Japanese.
(or something like that)
and D are very different.
