Re: WM5 Chinese characters

The right way to do this is really to buy a Chinese device. The operating
system itself doesn't really know anything about how to display Chinese text
unless it was built with that capability in it. The ability to display the
right character is just a small part of being designed to handle the locale.

There are some components that I recall hearing about a long time ago that
provided some non-Roman writing system support for doing various things on
Windows Mobile devices. I don't remember much about them, however. Google
will find whatever there is, I'm sure. It's doubtful that you'll find
something that will simply allow all existing device applications to use
Chinese, however.

Hi,

If I added the font into WM5, Can I configure WM5 to output them? Any
third party software that can?

Thanks.

You still have to set up font linkling in the registry...As a last
resort if a soft reset dosn't do the trick you may need to call AddFont
Resource(). First do the registry entries and a soft reset and see what
happens...

Hi,

Try to copy a font file (SImSun.ttc for chineese) in WIndows\Font.
Or call the WINCE API function AddFontResource.

configured
on the WM5 device you *may* be able to set up font linking by adding
the following entries to the registry (I have never done this on a
WM5
device, so I dont know if it will actually work):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:5000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI]
"FontLinkMethods"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Tahoma"="\\Windows\\simsun.ttc,NSimSun"
"Courier New"="\\Windows\\simsun.ttc,NSimSun"
"Arial"="\\Windows\\simsun.ttc,NSimSun"
"Times New Roman"="\\Windows\\simsun.ttc,NSimSun"
"Symbol"="\\Windows\\simsun.ttc,NSimSun"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SkipTable]
"Tahoma"="005c,00a5,007e,0391-03c9,2026,2116,221a,25a0-25ff"
"Arial"="005c"
"Courier New"="005c"

You probably have to do a soft reset for the changes to take effect,
and naturally you must have simsun.ttc font package present on the
device. See PB5 help for further details on "font linking".

Hi guys,


A chinese customer has a few I-Mate's runnning around with WM5.
When they
receive chineze emails, the characters are displayed as boxes. Can
I
configure WM5 to display them correctly? Any third party software
that can?

Thanks,
