Epwing format dictionaries can be managed by Goldendict with the latest Windows or MacOS builds, so you shouldn't have problems if using one of them. Unfortunately, the Linux version doesn't include Epwing support, at least for the moment. If you're using Linux, you can try these dictionaries as an alternative:
A very good and free Japanese-English dictionary is JMdict. It can be downloaded here: http://simonwiles.net/projects/jmdict/ ;)
Also, the free Babylon Japanese-English dictionary is a good one: http://www.babylon-software.com/free-di ... /1257.html
Babylon also has a free Kanji Dictionary: http://www.babylon-software.com/free-di ... 40821.html
