japanese text input 1

[rukkles]

i have installed fireworks3 on win2000 and have microsoft's ime (2000 japanese). i can edit japanese text in browsers, and word 2000 but i cannot edit it in fireworks, all i get are question marks on the image (although i do get japanese characters in the text input box). if i cut and paste from word i get question marks in both the text input box and on the image. can fireworks be used with japanese text (katakana)?

Is the text a trueType font and installed in Windows/Fonts? Ya' Gotta Love It!X-)

i am using ms gothic and it is installed in the win/fonts directory

It should be showing up in Fireworks preview. Could you email the file and a copy of the font set? I would be happy to look at it and see if I can find a solution for you.

ms gothic is over 4 megs, are you sure it will fit into your mail box

 

[TulsaJeff]

really?.... no...probably not.

just email the fireworks png file and I will get the MS Gothic on my end. I may have it at home. Ya' Gotta Love It!X-)

I have been reading up on the subject of japanese text. Doesn't look like you can see it outside of a browser. You are saying you can see it in word 2000 which I guess is understandable.

I am still researching the subject. I cannot read or write in Japanese so obviously this issue never came up at my house. Ya' Gotta Love It!X-)

solution that works
-go to regional options in the control panel
-select Japanese as the default language in 'language settings for the system'

before i had japanese selected is one of the options but it was not set as the default.
