Re: Foreign Keyboards
What Kenji advises (set field to Japanese Unicode font) works on my set up -- Japanese Win2K, Japanese keyboard, Rev 2.9. By "work" I mean the inputting not only of Japanese characters but also of non-alpha-numeric characters, especially shift-key chars for punctuation, quote marks, brackets, etc. -- Nicolas Cueto On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 11:38 PM, Kenji Kojima <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ron, > > When you set a Japanese Unicode font on a text field.

Re: Foreign Keyboards
Ron, When you set a Japanese Unicode font on a text field. You can type Japanese and English text correctly. Even if you use a Japanese layout keyboard. When you use a default text field that is set an English font, you can type Japanese characters, but wrong symbols. I do not have a Japanese keyboard of Windows, then I have not tested it on 2.9 and 3.0. I will ask about it to Japanese Revolution Forums later. -- Kenji Kojima http://www.kenjikojima.com/ On Aug 19, 2008, at 10:19 AM, ron barber wrote: Hi Mark,Thanks for the reply.
