> AFAIK Asian language fonts are double byte which director doesn't support.
More accurate than most, Brad ^_^ Here goes Kerry, chasing the localization goose again. Please to stifle the groans ^_^ English, German, and French Director don't support anything except ISO 8859.1 (Latin 1), which corresponds to the Windows-standard ANSI. Multibyte fonts may or may not work--it's hit or miss. If you want to use multibyte fonts, it's best to build your projector on Japanese or Korean Director, on Japanese, Chinese, or Korean Windows/Mac. CCJK (Japanese, Korean, and the two versions of Chinese) are multibyte. That's close to double byte, but not exactly. They are combinations of single-byte and double-byte characters. For the most part, the single-byte characters correspond to ISO 8859.1, or ANSI, characters--Western European. Other Asian languages--Vietnamese, Lao, Khmer, Tibetan--are single-byte. I haven't done Thai, but I think it's single-byte as well. Incidentally, a common misconception is that Cyrillic (Russian) is double-byte. It isn't--it's single-byte. And then there's Unicode, which actually is double-byte for all languages. (Though that's not entirely accurate any more, either). Cordially, Kerry Thompson [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
