japanese gaming encoding problem

Hi,

I have an American computer using windows XP. I recently bought a
japanese game to help me learn japanese as I play. I installed the
game sucessfully, but the letters are not displayed in "true"
japanese. What I mean by that is, there are a few letters that
actually are japanese combined with nonsensical characters. It
resemebles the type of characters that are displayed if you select a
japanese font other than the standard one used to view most web pages.
Is there anyway I can set my computer's default encoding to a
different setting in order to play this game? I was going to go into
Internet Explorer and do it, but that only affects viewing web pages
on the internet right? I'm looking for something to change inside of
my computer so to speak. What should I do?
thanks
jim

I would post the problem in a csharp newsgroup. That has a lot to do with
Japanese games :)

Hi there, a while ago, I posted a question regarding reading japanese text from a text file. Well, since I solved the problem, I thought I'd post my solution for the benefit of other people with the same problem. The plan was to make a script to read and display japanese text. I will use it for making a japanese proverb script and for a japanese language study script.

I'm using JRE 1.5 on Solaris Japanese (Sparc). The JVM claims its default character set is EUC-JP I'm seeing two strange things when using Japanese character sets... 1) If I write a program that does System.out.println("$^%$%^^" ); //assume those are Japanese characters that are multibyte under EUC-JP The resulting output looks NOTHING like the characters I typed in. Apparently the character set being used to read the literal is...

in my windows app, I have some japanese text that I load from a text file and display on a label. No matter what type of encoding I try to use on the text file, the text always comes up as a bunch of unreadable characters on my label. Are there settings/properties for a label on a windows form to be able to read japanese text? Is it when I raed the file that it gets screwed up (I use fileOpen and LineInput)? Looking for pointers here

Hi, May be it's a know issue but my search brought nothing... We have static HTML files with Japanese text in UTF-8 encoding - it's on-line Help for our application, so there are no Web servers involved, just .html and .js on a hard drive. .. Help topics are shown in a frameset (I know, I know, I personally had no idea :)) like this (I made an example): http://RusWin.net/jindex.htm

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
