You can set the fonts either with command line arguments or in a .xsys35rc file.

To use command line arguments you would run: xsystem35 -ttfont_mincho  -ttfont_gothic  -antialias

To use a .xsys35rc file you would create a file with that name in the game directory, with the following contents:

ttfont_mincho:  ttfont_gothic:  antialias: Yes

For example if the fonts were stored in a "fonts/" directory inside the game directory, the file would look something like this:

ttfont_mincho: fonts/mincho.ttf ttfont_gothic: fonts/gothic.ttf antialias: Yes

Probably you need to replace the forward slashes with back slashes if you're using the Windows version. Also, note that I'm setting the "antialias" option as well; this is not required, but it makes the text look a lot better.

Another thing to keep in mind is, if the game has CD audio, you need to rip the tracks and create a playlist as described here. If it's an old game with MIDI audio it should just work.
