Hello Keith Russell,
On Friday, October 08, 1999, 1:02:52 AM you told us:
KR> A few months ago, when I was first trying out The Bat, I posted a
KR> message asking if anyone else was using The Bat with Asian languages
KR> or double-byte character sets (DBCS). As I recall, there were no
KR> resonses.
KR> Problems with The Bat's handling of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
KR> (along with a couple of other problems mentioned in another
KR> thread) are keeping me from purchasing it. Specifically, with
KR> Korean (under English Windows):
I am not sure about this, but maybe you can try, here it goes:
Yesterday I was upgrading my MS Office 97 to MS Office 2000. After
that I am upgrade The Bat! from version 1.36Beta/10 to 1.36Beta/11,
then 1.36Beta/12 (due I have no luck to run 1.36Beta/11).
In the first time I run 1.36Beta/12, I found that I got new font :
Andele Mono, MS Hei (Chinese GB_2312), MingLiu (Chinese_BIG5), MS
Mincho (Japanese) and MS Song (Chinese_GB2312).
At first, I guess it comes with The Bat! 1.36/Beta11 or 12, but I
doubt now (someone from who use 1.36Beta/12 please confirm this),
perhaps the new character set cames from Office 2000. There are many
new character set there such : Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Arabic,
Koresn (not sure Hangul or others); for trial I am installing some
Chinese, some Japanese and Arabic.
Because I don't know Japanese/Korean/Chinese character, I didn't test
it with The Bat!; I know about Arabic (just a little), but seems the
character set not comes up.
If you have MS Office 2000, you can give a try.
I will update the character set with Korean Character set if time
permit, and see what happend then.
KR> 2. Worse yet, if I compose and send a message using The Bat and
KR> Korean Partner, the message header identifies the charset as
KR> ISO-8851-1! (It should be sent as ISO-2022-KR.) I am afraid that
KR> this will make it unreadable to recipients.
What's character set you prefer ?
KR> Has anyone at all found a way around these problems? Thomas, I
KR> noticed you are running Chinese Windows. Do you have similar
KR> problems?
Thomas,
How about you after using 1.36Beta/12 ?
