thai/chinese etc fonts/kb's

Hello Bat-users,

We had a while ago a discussion about it and just having installed the
win2000 I didnt see any sign of it in the control panel and that while
early betas HAD Thai and I used it... oops, installed it I mean(g)
Anyway, after awhile I found where ms has hidden the place to set it,
and the USA version will allow chinese/japanese/korean and Japanese
(and loads of others to be installed), they are on the cd..
However to set the keyboard you first have to ADD the keyboard...
How this impacts the bats editor no idea yet but if someone wants to
type or read chinese it seems that the current 2000 can do this...
Anyway I will experiment a bit with my system to see if I can use the
supplied fonts with the editor...

One remark, its quite clear that some programs arent working or
working correctly, the Bat though seems to work.
Some hardware has the same problems. And an upgrade, as I expected, is
the wrong way to try it...(g)

(continuing)
Ok, the interesting thing: I see 2 chinese fonts, both TT.
Song and Wei I think.
I see Thai TT fonts AND they type Thai.
If correct, no idea as I havent got a Thai keyboard on this system.
Intriguing though, it seems if like in my case keyboard is set via
2000 to Thai, I have at least 2 TT fonts which will type and even
Chinese is there. IN the font list of the editor and I have never seen
that before.
No idea who else has 2000 installed but I have this odd feeling that TT
fonts might already work...

Best regards,

tracer

It's all there even in plain '95 OSR2;-) Start--Control Panel--Keyboard--
--Language--Add... But this means, you'll need to "switch" keyboard each 
time;-(. Say, with Ctrl-Shift keycombo, or Alt-Shift one (these are predefined 
by MS for this thing). Just try it;-) Besides, this means a loosy workaround for 
the problem of the shortcuts not working on non-US keyboards: one just 
needs to install "US" keyboard and switch to it before using the shortcuts. An 
utility RusLat (www.ruslat.wm.ru) helps to make it a bit less awkward, but 
nontheless;-(
