Cannot read Chinese characters in some programs
in [Help and Support]

From: Abba1091 on 31 Mar 2010 15:07 I have re-installed Windows XP on my desktop recently and now I cannot read Chinese characters in some programs. I have already installed the East Asian languages files under the "Regional and language options" as well as setting the "Language for non-Unicode programs" to Chinese(PRC). I have many Chinese fonts installed on my desktop. I have also added Chinese in the "Language preference" in Internet Explorer. Still, there are some programs and some websites that I cannot read the Chinese characters properly. Please help.

If you cannot read the Chinese characters, then they (A) are either too small, (B) you can't read Chinese anyway, (C) the characters were written by some joker, (D) the characters are LIKE Chinese but wrong shape, (E) wrong dialect, Mandarin etc. Only likely cure for your dilemma is: (A) Learn Chinese or (B) get in a translator or (C) learn English and buy an English pc or (D) move to China where, hopefully, all pc's "speak" Chinese (YOUR specific dialect). Sorry about the long screed but "reading" & "seeing" have totally different meanings in this context. Good luck.
From: Abba1091 on 1 Apr 2010 12:47 I used to be able to "see" those Chinese characters before I re-installed Windows. Now, after all the programs have been re-installed, the characters in some programs show up as funny characters. I think it has something to do with the encoding of the characters. Here is an example "捃濘蚔牁". I am sure everybody can see them but I doubt if anybody can understand them. -- Abba1091 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abba1091's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/202629.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1322669.htm http://forums.techarena.in
