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. -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces+acarrico=adamsglobalization.com at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+acarrico=adamsglobalization.com at lists.frameusers .com] On Behalf Of David Shaked (Wernick) Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 9:51 AM To: Framers 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.
