Japanese Font Support

I'm having some issues understanding how to install a language pack (i think).

I'm using a font (this one to be exact) and i don't know exactly how to use it. For example, if i type A, it comes out as a Japanese character.

Since i don't know exactly how to read Japanese, i don't know how to write the words i want to write. So, i figured, maybe if i installed some kind of Japanese typing thingy it could help?

I am so professional...thanks in advance!

So wait, you don't know how to read Japanese, yet you have Kanji characters all over your system? o_O

SO YOU LIE ABOUT KNOWING JAPANESE TO GET DEVIATION VIEWS?

Smooth.

Disappointed.

Well, I'm in the process of learning, so I find that having my enviroment in japanese helps me.

Nice, good excuse after telling me on Miranda "TAKE IT DOWN PLZ". :D

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha your shots make sense now XD

In any casem if you can see them, everything is ok :D

Josh is trying to piss me off lol.

I want to use the fonts.

#507883

Oh, I get it.

How odd, what are you typing in?

#507885

Well, some fonts have english letters along with Japanese characters. I use those fonts as a system font. However, some fonts have no english letters, so whatever you type comes out as a japanese character.

I'm just doing it in MS Office for now.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha your shots make sense now XD

You know what the japanese IS, right?

In any casem if you can see them, everything is ok :D

Obviously, that's not the case. (Or, um... "casem".)

Try using Font Creator if you have it (or charmap), and take a look at the way the characters are set up.

shaddup, it's 2AM.

(And I misunderstood his question)

His shots make sense because I know why they're japanese HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

lern2common sense.

Anyway, have you tried going to 'insert symbol', to see if the font is just like... set up wrong?

#507890

Well, I'd imagine that it's 2 a.m. somewhere.

EDIT:

His shots make sense because I know why they're japanese HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

lern2common sense.

Bolded statement sure as hell could go both ways.

Into bed with you.

Zephi's right. Just open up High Logic Font Creator or some other font editting program and see which character corresponds to which letter. Charmap would be a good idea, but it's a basic font viewing tool at best.

#507892

Zephi, yes. Here. In England. It is 2AM what's your point?

#507894

Refer to edited post.

#507896

oh ok I see.

What's nonsensical about being up at this hour! XD

#507898

:'( Stop it all of you! Can't we all learn to get along?

It's not that the font is set up wrong. All the fonts from GrayGraphics are like that. It's the way the font is used. I'm trying to install support for East Asia Lang Packs and a IME or something like that, but nothing seems to cooperate.

Ah, alright. Good luck with that, and tell us how it turns out.
