Bagoj's japanese IME on x50v's with WM5?

[shady]

i didnt read all of this thread, sorry!

What is Muiltibox?

On the other side, if you need CAB files which contains
your favorite font and registry with wince.nls, i can help.
PLS inform me if you need it.

Asukal, Can you get me a CAB files which contains your mUnifontM and supports Japanese, Korean and Chinese display for WM5? I tried you e-china but can't enable 'japan' in Regional settings.

Do you have input that supports Japanese, Korean and Chinese for WM5 ? Onegaishimasu. :)

Hey Asukal,
I'm trying to get Korean working on my Axim 51v with WM 5.0. After installing echinaNo5x.cab, Japanese and Chinese characters show properly.

However, Korean characters appear as rectangles!

I guessed the problem was that the mUniFont font did not have the Korean characters, so I tried loading MS Arial Unicode. I copied the font to the Axim and changed all the SystemLink registry strings.

However, this caused all three languages--Chinese, Japanese, and Korean--to show up as rectangles

Do you know what happened?
Thanks for your help!

The e-china package should already contain support for Japanese, Korean, Chinese and even Thai. It is working on my device.

As for CJK input, I only know of Effy input system from Time Space System. But it is for WM2003 and I've not tested it on WM5. If you decided to test it out, make sure that the installer doesn't replace the wince.nls file with something for WM2003.

Most likey something the font is linked incorrectly. I know that most who try to do font linking have a lot of entries for skiptable, changing font sizes, changing default system fonts, etc.

But to see that things are working properly, it is advisable to start from the bare minimum. And for that you don't even need wince.nls file. For example, what I do is, I create some new text file on the desktop, rename the filename with Chinese/Japanese/Korean/whatever script, transfer the files to the device, then view the files in File Explorer. If the font linking is working properly, the filename will show up fine on the device. The minimum that entries that you need in your device can be like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI]
"FontLinkMethods"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Arial"="\\Windows\\arialuni.ttf,Arial Unicode MS"
"Courier New"="\\Windows\\arialuni.ttf,Arial Unicode MS"
"Tahoma"="\\Windows\\arialuni.ttf,Arial Unicode MS"
"Times New Roman"="\\Windows\\arialuni.ttf,Arial Unicode MS"

This is the minimum that I use and I've checked that indeed I can display everything (except complex script but that is another story).

i installed e-china but can't get them diplayed. i have to install let's japan to enable 'japan' in global settings to enable display.
Does Bagoj's IME supports korean/chinese input ?

hmm, if i only want to read chinese in wm5, do i just install the echinaNo5x cab?

edit:
installed that & i can read chinese

That is indeed weird. Ok, it just occured to me it might be because of the way the the wince.nls works on the package. Look into your /Temp folder and see if there is a wince.nls file (make sure you are showing all file!). If there is, copy it into /Windows folder, overwriting the one already there. Then soft reset. Hopefully it works.

No, Bagoj's IME is a Japanese IME only. If you have access to Platform Builder, maybe you can build other IME samples and share with us! ;)

Yes, that is correct. As a bonus, you'll automatically get Japanese and Korean display support as well.

I don't think there is any wince.nls on my /temp folder. is the wince.nls file same for both the package(1.5MB)? i think it might be registry.

No.
The one for "Let's Japan" package came from the emulator image. It will support Japanese only. The file size is smaller as well.
The one for "e-China" package is built by Asukal. It will support Chinese, Japanese, Korean.

Ok. I will check and see. Anyway, i prefer the mUniFontM to the MS Gothic. E-china has the font but not let's japan. I can use Bagoj's IME with mUniFontM but some complexe characters still cant be displayed in the keyboard.

Anyone knows how to remove the small IME bar on the below right from Bagoj's IME ? It's quite annoying especially when watching movie and it blocks the keyboard tab sometimes.

EDIT: I checked my temp folder and there is a wince.nls(380K) and inside Windows folder(1.5MB). Which is for Japanese only and which one for Korea, Chinese and Japanese.

Does Bagoj's IME really take up 6MB of RAM? I sorta wussied out before installing it since the archive seemed to be HUGE... can any part of it live on the built-in storage?

the font msgothic is already 4-5MB. unless u already have it. everything have to be installed in windows directory.

shady: If you read earlier in this thread around page 2, gwinter provides a nifty keyboard switching program that turns the floating bar on and off (not instantly though, you have to exit and reopen the program for the box to disappear).
