RTF character set to codepage?

Hi,

I'm trying to convert some RTF text to Unicode UTF-16.

The characters I'm converting are double byte Japanese.
The character set is fcharset128 which should be codepage 932.
I am looking for a way to ask .NET given a character set for it to return the correct codepage or encoding.

How do I map the character set 128 to the correct codepage?


With other languages RTF gives the codepage, so its a simple matter of retrieving the encoding..e.g. normal codepage for english is 1252, so nSourceCodePage = 1252.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  Encoding srcEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(nSourceCodePage);
  2.                InBytes = new byte[2];
  3.                InBytes[0] = nFirstDoubleByte;
  4.                InBytes[1] = (byte)node.Parameter;
  5. //and convert to Unicode
  6.               Encoding unicodeEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1200);
  7.               byte[] outputBytes = UnicodeEncoding.Convert(srcEncoding, unicodeEncoding, InBytes);
  8.              string unicodestring = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(outputBytes);
Any help appreciated.
