Displaying an Application with Japanese Characters Correctly

If you are using an occidental version of OS/2 you will notice that Japanese characters look broken if you run a Japanese application.



To be able to view the applications correctly with Japanese font you need to:

On the config.sys you can set up two codepages like: CODEPAGE=850,932
 * Install the Japanese codepage on the config.sys'


 * Use CpPal application to define the code page to an specific application.'



You will not notice any change yet.
 * Open the Japanese application
 * On CpPal you need to set on the list to "932 d Japan"
 * On CpPal drag the "set" icon and drop it into the Japanese application.

On this case I'm using "Times New Roman WT J".
 * Use a font that contains all Japanese characters.'




 * Open the "Font Palette"
 * Search for "Times New Roman WT J", select a size and put it on the list.
 * Drag the font into the Japanese application. You may need to drag it to several parts, like window tittle, content and buttons.

And now the application should look with a correct set of Japanese fonts.
