billkimalt Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hi.I'm using WIndows 7 Professional English version, with Korean additionally installed on to it. It normally works fine, but at some times, the Notepad fails to recognize any Korean fonts. I can read and write in other programs (Word, IE, Chrome, etc), but the Notepad just fails to do so from time to time. Does anyone have the same issue?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Notepad, on the English version of Windows, by default runs in ASCII mode. There are some tricky things you can do to run it in Unicode mode (by opening a Unicode text document first).There are much better tools on the Japanese and Korean market; nobody in Japan uses Notepad.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Sorry, I was speaking theoretically; I just tested it (saving a TXT file as Unicode-encoded, then reopening it with Notepad, and trying to enter a multibyte character), and it doesn't work. (It can save the data correctly, but cannot display them - they just show as a rectangle.)Japanese Windows uses a tool that is called Memopad for TXT files; naturally it can handle multibyte characters. I don't know what Korean Windows uses.For English Windows you can use a tool like Notepad2 or Notepad++ - both support multibyte data and can replace the original Windows Notepad.P.S. there are many more Unicode text editors - search Google.
