I did some testing of double-byte character sets under D7 back in 2006 or so under Win 2000. To fully see/use all the Chinese characters, you need to get a copy of Chinese Windows, which, unless you can read Chinese, will be impossible to use.
To be able to enter/see Chinese characters (rather than funny characters) in tEdit and tRichEdit under English Windows, do the following (tMenuItem and tComboBox will always show Chinese characters oddly under English Windows 2000; for other components YMMV, although Quantum Grid works OK; don't know if XP or Vista will do better for tMenuItem etc.). These are the steps that should get you started: 1) Go to Control Panel / Regional and Language Settings 2) On the Regional Options page, set Chinese and China into the two combo boxes 3) On the Language page, check Install Files for East Asian Languages 4) On the Advanced page, choose Chinese in the dropdown box. You might want to memorize the clicks needed to go back, just in case your entire system turns Chinese and you can't read menus any more... :-) (Of course, if you read Chinese that's not an issue.)
