Simplified Chinese (GB2312) in Manila (#16120)
Reply To This Message [Edit]
Hello Emmanuel,

I looked at your Chinese page. It seems very good. I think the Simplified Chinese is rather easy to handle, because it is a EUC encoding, using all "higher ASCII" characters. What would be much harder is a mixed text with Simplified Chinese and some language using "higher ASCII", like French.

Another more complicated problem is rendering Japanese or Traditional Chinese with Frontier. I worked very hard for that some years ago, at the time of Frontier 4.2.3 (I am still using it...). But I don't think this would work with more recent versions of Frontier. And I have never tried Radio...

Anyway, it seems that Frontier is net yet Unicode savvy... Sigh...!

And Phil, are you still interested in rendering Japanese text with Frontier?

Best regards,

Nobumi Iyanaga Tokyo, Japan
