Can the iPhone default system font display Japanese script?

I have an iPhone which compiles correctly and then localizes and displays correctly in the simulator (English, Japanese and Thai!). It runs fine in English and Thai on my iTouch but hangs when I change the language setting to Japanese. I can display Japanese script correctly when I use say HiraKakuProN-W3 when displaying the labels but this is no good for table section headers unless I can some how change the system font.

The other localizations (German, French) work fine.

My localization files are UTF8-encoded.

There must be a clean way of displaying Japanese script.

    Addendum:

    The system font on the iPhone/iTouch handles Japanese script just fine.

    It is now working within my app “live”, rather than just in the simulator, though why this is I’m still at a total loss to explain. I am using 11mb of RAM which should be sufficiently far from incurring a memory warning.

    Still, it is working now.
