Hi,

Thank to all of your for your advise.
I also facing the same problem as Farouk, even installing some
add-on like the demo version of NJSTAR, does not help at all.

However, if I had some folder in chinese, it is displaying
correctly by the OS, but not the dbf file in VFP.

Any ideal, please advise. Thank a lot

>Thanks Sim for starting the thread. I was about to write the same but luckily I saw this. I'm using XP Prof OS and I have installed the language option as Jamie pointed out. The problem is I can type Chinese characters in Words and Notepad. But when I created a dbf and type something in the memo field, it alwayas come out with the "?" character in the memo field. I have tried coonverting the dbf to the correct codepage but still cannot get the right stuff... Any ideas?

>>My experiance has been that you must use the local version of Windows to fully test an application. I worked on an app a few years ago that had to run in 14 languages. We could develop in English using INTL Toolkit, but in the end, testing had to be done in Chinese, Korean, etc., versions of Windows because there were subtle differences in how they worked.
>>
>>For example, our menus didn't work right under Japanese Windows. After some experimenting, we found that some leading characters were being seen as ESC or BKSPACE( I can't remember which) and causing some menu options to vanish. We found that if we padded every menu option with a space, everything worked fine in Japanese and still looked OK in English.

>>>Hi
>>>I guess you have in Chinese the same problem we have with Hebrew for fonts. You cannot use the English version of Win2k, but you have to use a "Chinese Enabled" version. I think there probably is a possibility to add Chinese language and fonts to the version of Win2k you are using, but in any case, you need the Chinese system fonts.
>>>For a start, in Win2k, go to Control Panel, then Regional options. In the lower list ( Language settings for the system ) , check "Simplified Chinese" and "Traditional Chinese". This will install additional support for Chinese, and i hope it will be enough in order to display Chinese fonts in your computer.
