Picoreplayer Japanese/Chinese characters display as pinyin?

Just installed PCP on a pi zero to test for use as an LMS server playing off my NAS and I must say it's brilliant in terms of playback on my old but trusty SB3 player (which has the slim devices logo on the fascia!). The primary reason to use this was that the NAS (a buffalo linkstation quad) has only a cut down (and now old) version of LMS and wouldn't display non English characters at all and the plug ins didn't work either.

Anyway on the SB3 (using PCP) Japanese and Chinese characters in my music tags show up in pinyin form (ie romanised characters eg the character 明 shows up as "ming" instead of the character). From google searches it would seem that I need to replace certain fonts in LMS but I can't seem to access this on the pi (I have direct access to the pi and can find my way around linux a bit but can't seem to find where the LMS files are). I might add that when looking at the media files on my windows pc browser pointing to the LMS address XX.XX.XX.XX:9000 will show the characters properly.

Can anyone help me fix this?

As a secondary issue the time on the PCP home page doesn't display correctly - I'm stuck in 1970 so it's not picking up the time at bootup.

Edit: and I'm on the latest 3.2b5
