Ok, this has to do with the way C-Windows forces Chinese display on
non-DBCS-aware software. It's been much improved in Win2k, for at
least the same trick works here. My understanding is you hardly need
Chinese display, but are simply stuck with a Chinese Windows system,
right? Here's a trick: use regedit and go to the following key:
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\fontassoc\Associated CharSet]
and change the following entries' values as indicated:
"ANSI(00)"="no"
"OEM(FF)"="no"
"CHINESBIG5(88)"="no"
This trick will order your C-Win system not to force display
Chinese. The downside is each application has to display Chinese on
its own. In TB, it means you'll have to set the display font to a
Chinese font (like "�ө���" in C-Win). I believe nonetheless this
downside means almost to you. :)
If you have time, you may play with the four entries in the above
mentioned registry key, setting some to yes and others to no. You'll
find different applications use different ways to display text, and
hence would be forced to display Chinese in different situations.
