Displaying Chinese Characters

pix_programmer

Hi! I've done multi-language support for my application. It displays characters other than Chinese,Japanese and Korean. What to do display these characters? Is there any other way than installing the language packs? I don't want to install the language packs.

Why? If you need to display a certain language's characters then use the tools that are available. The alternative is to write your own character/font generator.

I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

Will the installation of Fonts for these languages be suffice? I don't know which fonts needed for each of these languages(Chinese_Traditional,Chinese_Simplified,Korean and Japanese).

The easiest way to handle this is to change the font to Aerial Unicode MS. This font is installed n all machines that have office or some office app, like Excel or Word. Its not a Guarantee for all machines. For the other you need to install some other Unicode font. You can do this by Changing the font properties on the main dialog box.
