i kno people have had issues with both monster maction chinese, and ce-star, but after trying both out i found that ce-star 2.8R is the better of the two programs, ce-star let me type chinese with my bluetooth keyboard which is a big plus, but for viewing chinese websites i think u just need the big5, gb, and unicode fonts installed on ur pda. i just copied them off my laptop, the issue with that is it does take up ram so u would be giving up performance for versitilty

I successfully installed and viewed Chinese. But I lost "Word Count" function in Mobile Word. Do you have any suggestion?

notenufsleep · 05-11-06, 12:22 PM

umm what settings did u install? i'm sure it won't matter too much, but i chose everything w/ simplified and it doesn't seem to have ne issues with Mobile Word's "Word Count"

Here is an example:
1. Download the sunglobe font: http://www.asukal.jp/source/Font/Font_sunglobe.zip
2. Copy it to your \windows\fonts\ folder on the device.
3. Save the following text as sunglobe.reg and import it into your registry using resco explorer (or use freeware total commander to change the registry manually):

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI]
"FontLinkMethods"="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Times New Roman"="\\Windows\\Fonts\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun"
"Tahoma"="\\Windows\\Fonts\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun"
"Courier"="\\Windows\\Fonts\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun"
"Arial"="\\Windows\\Fonts\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun"

Then soft-reset and it should work. You don't need to mess around with wince.nls, reflash your rom, or change your country region.

You may want to try other asian fonts like mingliu if you find missing characters or need the fonts to look different. There are even font files that support multiple asian languages such as japanese, chinese, thai, korean... You may even already have these fonts on your computer if you checked the option to install far-east language support. Some fonts don't work on the pocketpc so you'll have to experiment. I tried ArialUni, a 22MB font file that can be installed in XP that is suppose to support most world languange but it didn't work for me. :(

More info here about all this: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=103305 and here: http://discussion.brighthand.com/sho...630#post781630, but the methods in those threads usually involve more extensive changes to the system. I would suggest using my method first and then move on from there.

There are also methods to move the fonts to a storage card instead, but since you're using WM5, storing the font file on the device doesn't take away any of your ram.

And if you need chinese input, install this: http://xdao2.seesaa.net/article/12029203.html. It supports simplified or traditional chinese, but you have to set your preference in the input options.

I'm currently using asukal's mUniFontM.ttf font (chinese, japanes, korean), found in his echinaNo5.zip package (http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/6912738.html. I didn't install his pack directly but extracted the font and used my method above to install the font, since installing his pack made changes to my system fonts that I didn't like.

Good luck!

badbob001 and others: Does that method of yours replace the regular fonts? I am an american who wants chinese simp AND traditional, jap and korean installed for MSN... I have Many friends around the world, and little boxes make it hard to know whos who. I *think* I can do BadBobs method, but not if it will just get rid of my english fonts. anyway to just add them in? wtf doesnt wm5 have a damn font pack? Jeez that's frustrating
