Yes, but these applications run on a device that uses either an officially localized release of the OS for that language, or a 3rd party hack that provides similar support for drawing, editing, sorting, etc. text in non-Latin character encodings. >Can someone please tell me how to about solving this? If you have only limited amounts of text that you're statically displaying, then you could bundle appropriate fonts with your app to handle drawing the text. Though for Asian locales such China/Japan/Taiwan/Korea, the fonts are > 64K and > 256 glyphs, so you'll have to break up the glyph set into multiple fonts. Otherwise you'll have to rely on the customer having a suitably localized version of the OS. -- Ken -- Ken Krugler TransPac Software, Inc. <http://www.transpac.com> +1 530-470-9200 -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
