Hero-of-Time Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Can someone tell me how to make it so that my pc displays Japanese writing correctly? All I can see is squares and other stuff. Do I have to download a programme or something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thats an easy one, hopefully you're on XP. First you'll need your XP disk! Then go: Control Panel > Regional and Language options > language tab > install files for Eas Asian languages. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hmmm actually it didnt. Im trying to view this website correctly http://www.geocities.com/flatbushkidus/mh/ But it still comes up in weird lettering and shapes. Yet if i use babelfish to say put english into japanese that now works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I think if you install the Japanese typing software as well, then everything will work. I have done this, but I can't remember how to... there are lots of tutorials on the net though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatnickc Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 You could try downloading the Japanese language pack from Microsoft. It says you don't need to download it if you aren't 'installing the Global IME (Japanese) tool', but it does in fact work. You can download this from here.

That's right- its the IME thing that I've got, so you might want to install it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
