crossmr Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I've installed the Korean IME and support for east asian languages. An extended that support to all programs in the language bar program, but I'm having an issue with it not actually being extended to all programs or in all places.I'm not sure if I'm possibly missing a Korean font, or what, but in some applications its not working at all, in others its partially working. In webpages it generally works.It seems to me that simply installing the Korean IME doesn't seem to afford the same compatibility as if you installed Korean XP. I'm tossing up some attachments that show examples. In the two game shots you can see garbeled korean in the red box and if you look in the other parts of the image you'll see it being displayed properly.The other image is a simple installer. Which should be using default korean fonts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Application designers usually write their applications on a Windows system that is identical to the language their application is written in. They don't bother to test it on a different environment, and the result of using such an application in a different environment will result in what you see.It is not really an issue of fonts, or anything else you can do about it - it's entirely the developers' fault and responsibility.However, there is one thing you can do to force the application to display Korean (or Japanese, or Chinese) characters correctly: by using NJWIN. It's not free (US$19), but it offers a 30-day free trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossmr Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I got it by going into the advanced area and telling it to use korean for non-unicode programs. Worked, good thing I'm not trying to use korean and another language on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
