Hi Fabrice,

You might have a code page problem. Lithuanian and Turkish are both 
different encodings, and different from Western European.

Western European, or Latin-1, is defined by the ISO 8859.1 standard. 
Lithuanian is in the Baltic group, or ISO 8859.4, and Turkish is 
8859.9.  Each uses a different code page--8859.1, which is used by English, 
French, and German Director, uses code page 1252; Lithuanian uses code page 
1257; and Turkish uses code page 1254.

Have you tried embedding Turkish and Lithuanian fonts in the cast? You 
didn't say if the program was running on English Windows, but from your 
comments on the regional settings, that is what I would guess. I'm not 
guaranteeing that they will work, because since 7.0, Director hasn't been 
real good at supporting other code pages.

I don't think you need an in-line IME. Those are usually for multi-byte 
languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Turkish and Lithuanian are 
single-byte languages, so text entry is done with a standard keyboard (that 
is, a standard Turkish or Lithuanian keyboard, typically on Turkish or 
Lithuanian Windows.)

You probably won't get the in-line IME to work in a single-byte Windows 
system unless you have a third-party Asian language system installed, like 
Twin Bridge. So, you're probably not doing anything wrong.

Hope this helps!

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
