East Asian Language Support?

[aLeXis]

I have a pc game that needs East Asian Fonts (japanese chars) to work propely but i haven't found a solution on how to add this...anyone knows if it can be done on 98SE ?

Japanese support for IE might help. It's available on the windows update site.

Check this out : Wiki page on how to enable this fonts. Hope this helps!

Yeah i saw those but it says it's only for input and to display those chars in IE not anyother app...or does it work for others apps ?

[RainyShadow]

As a lot of IE parts are shared within the OS, it'll probably work.

Just try, it's not a rocket science to install an IE component

it's not a rocket science to install an IE component

But it's evil! I'd prefer to install without the component.

sorry for necroing the thread

NJSTAR Communicator can be used to view East asian / CJK character.

but i have other problem with CJK filename on (english) win98SE system:

Sometime i run into condition where the need to create file/directory with CJK character on it,

wether via Compressed files, torrent or installer.

the problem is some of that filenames works, but the other doesn't.

after closer inspection i found out that if that ANSI converted directory/filename contain win9x illegal filename character ( such as: ><:| ) windows would refuse to create the respective directories / files, thus the process failed

i have tried installing Microsoft Global IME and change the regional setting into Japanese, but that doesn't help

i know that CJK filename works on respective localized win9E version, is there a way to make it works on english win98SE?

I'm afraid an English 9x system cannot support Unicode filenames. It may be capable of displaying Unicode characters in certain applications with dedicated support (BTW, a freeware application that allows reading/writing Japanese - Hiragana & Kanji - is JWPce), but only after adding the respective IE modules (input and display support) and the proper IME for MS (there are 2 different IMEs: one for users of OfficeXP and one for non-OfficeXP users).

Also, the default Unicode font in Win98SE is MS Mincho, which apparently is incomplete, so one may want to install alternative Unicode fonts, such as Arial Unicode MS and/or others.
