Japanese Language Problem

So I've got an installer that just has one custom page with menu options on it (to launch an installer with various options). This installer menu needs to work on both English and Japanese systems. I have the Japanese translations sitting in a UTF-8 file. I've browsed around the messageboard and know that I need to change the encoding to Shift-JIS (SJIS). I've done this.

Whenever I display on English WinXP, the text is all garbled (as expected). When I display on Japanese WinXP, the text isn't correct (but it is Japanese) except for the caption text in the title bar (and the title bar text is being pulled from the same language file).

Note 1: I have used the JWPce editor to convert to the Shift-JIS encoding as was recommended by this thread.

Note 2: I have commented this part out, but I was setting the font (with WinAPI call to CreateFont) to something different. When I would do this, the Japanese text would show up correctly on English WinXP (after changing Regional and Language Options from Control Panel) but would still look the same on Japanese WinXP as when the font was not being set.

Why won't my strings show up correctly?

Thanks in advance.
