1. Watch out for character substitutions, e.g. some Japanese fonts will
display a trademark symbol as a JPN character. Using combined ENG/JPN
fonts can prevent this.  The combined font option is only supposed to be
available on an Asian localized OS (in ENG Frame), but I figured out how
to edit the .ini files to make it available on my ENG systems. 

2. Don't know.  We use only English Frame.

3. You have to be on a JPN localized OS in order to enter JPN characters
into dialog boxes. You can often copy/paste from one dialog box to
another. If you have a doc with the necessary variables already defined,
you can get probably around that limitation, but you should always check
to make sure that the correct characters are displayed. 

4. Getting Asian text into or out of Frame can be a problem. You can't
copy/paste but you can import or Save As.

Subject: Japanese variables and formatting

I am processing Japanese documents in English FM 7.2, on English Windows
XP
Pro. Japanese fonts are installed on the system.

1. The document looks fine. Are there limitations on the formatting or
editing that I can perform?

2. Are there limitations on transferring documents between Japanese and
English FM?

3. How can I define an FM variable that has a Japanese value? When I
paste
Japanese text into the variable definition, I get gibberish.

4. Are there any other pitfalls I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance.
