Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 My computer claims that “ú–{Œê is japanese for Japanese. I don't believe “ú–{Œê is japanese writing. Is it japanese writing? If not, what do I do about this? BTW, is Ελληνικά Greek? 我的電腦無法使用日本文字! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Reality Corp. Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yes, it could be Japaneese, but since you might not have the right font to display the text, it's displayed like that. As for the Greek thing, I'm not sure... Also, I know that if you're using Windows XP, those fonts should come up normally, either that or only when you type stuff...anyways, I hope that helps.

Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 I'm using Windows 98. Wait, does the Japanese text look a lot like "u-{CEe? That's a lot like what my computer's showing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Reality Corp. Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 From the experience I had from the japaneese language, no. And having win98 is the reason the text is being diplayed so funny. Your current OS does not have the "born" ability to display those fonts. You will need to install them manually, which is fairly easy. Finding the fonts though, is another question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 I already installed the Japanese font on my computer. When I installed the Chinese font, it worked. Where can I install the Japanese font on my computer? I have another question: Is there any way to register AIM if you have a firewall? I think I can't register AIM because I have a firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Reality Corp. Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Well, for the fonts, I found that there was more than one font that could have been used. It's wierd, but japanese seems to have about three languages, or subsets of languages. Anyways, I found a site that gives some fonts, I'll update the list as I go. Fonts And I don't know about the firewall thing. Someone else can help you on that. EDIT: Eh,...to tired too look anymore...if you want to, just search for it on google, japanese fonts.

Easygoing Eyebeast Wise Man Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 the last line is Chinese, not Jap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 Ok, I've got what appears to be the Japanese characters(From Hiragan.zip)... Where should I put hiragana.ttf? Or... Which file should I have downloaded instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Reality Corp. Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Put them into your font folder. Start-Settings-Control Panel-Fonts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 THE OPERATION WAS: A partial success. My computer still doesn't support Japanese font online. I'm going to bed. You don't have to respond soon at all. You can wait at least 8 hours if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Reality Corp. Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 If you are using IE, you will need to download a japanese plugin from Microsoft. Windows XP, as I said before, supports all languages in the IE browser. WIN98 does not. When you start up IE, go to the TOOLS menu bar. Click on Windows Update. Let it scan your computer and then click on the Windows 98 additional updates link. Add the japanese plugin to your list and download the updates. Also, if you enter a site that the browser cant identify the font of, a window should pop up saying that you need to download a language plugin from Microsoft... Anyways, it has been a long day, and I too will be heading to sleep. What shall my dreams be this time...? I want to be a CIA agent...yes, I shall dream about being a CIA agent and saving the world from ...uh...MICROSOFT! Yes, the evil company devised a bug to stop the entire world's rotation and I shall be the one who slays the head of Bill Gates...blood and gore...icky...and then I shall wake up and wish that the experience had been real. Wow, out of all the things I write on the boards, the wierdest ones I come up with are right before I go to sleep. Now while I'm on a spree, what else shall I talk about? Oh...wait, I'm veerry slleepy and i cant see anything anymore and zzzzzzzzzzzz... Anyways, I've ranted on a little to long, sorry about that. Oh yes, good night, sleep tight...and let your dreams come true....goood night...sleeep tight, may your dreams come true...Adios, something something, wonderful day... GOOD NIGHT!

Well-Actually War Trall Omlette Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 You missed what RC said about Japanese having multiple subsets of characters. It has three-hiragana, katakana, and kanji, and you'd probably need to get hold of a decoder for each one to be on the safe side. -E- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 There appears to be no Microsoft Japanese update. 日本語! YAY! JAPANESE WORKS ON MY COMPUTER! HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 About the Firewall/AIM thingie: I'm using a Proxy server, which is a lot like a Firewall. In the settings for AIM (I'm using Trillian, but I can look at my old messenger to see how it works), you can set the IP of a Proxy so that it logs in through that server. I don't know if a Firewall works the same as a Proxy, but you need to find the IP address of the Firewall server, and it should be in your browser settings somewhere under connections. If it's there, copy it into the settings of the messenger. If not, I don't know what to do either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Sir David Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I don't know what I'm talking about, but I think you need to change some setting thing to Incoming, outgoing & AOL proxy server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
