Languages that use a double-byte character set require you to run an
Input Method Editor (IME) on your computer (unless you are
running an International version of Windows.)

The Input Method Editor is a software utility that runs in Windows.
The IME lets you enter foreign character sets in PanelBuilder as well
as other applications, such a Microsoft Word or Power Point.

UnionWay

t is one example of an IME. The tool bar and input

dialog for the IME is shown below.

The language you select in the IME must match the code page of the
font file you create in FontTool.

For this Font File:

Select this IME Option:

Chinese (Traditional)

Big5

Chinese (Simplified)

GB

Japanese

S-JIC or EUC

Korean (Johab)

Korean (Wansung)

KSC

Korean (Wansung-Full)

KSC

Note: We recommend that you select a fixed width font instead of a
proportional font. A fixed width font will not interfere with the
cursor when you are editing text in PanelBuilder.

If your system is not running an international version of Windows,
you must run the IME to:

select a font style when creating a font file in FontTool.

enter/edit text while when creating a PanelBuilder application.

If the IME is not running or the code page is not available for the
particular language, FontTool will generate high ASCII characters
without the desired glyph characters (essentially unreadable text).
