Hi to all
I had searched the net, and I could not find anything, If someone knows, about character set encoding in android opereting system...
Is there a way ( I don't know where to search ), to add? install? a specific character encoding set ( I want ISO 8859-7 ), to the TAB?
Is that character encoding relative to fonts?
I had tried all the different fonts that are exists in the tab but I had the same result. ( characters that I cannot read ).
I want if possible to force the tab, all the applications to use a specific character set.
I use Greek language but it seams the tab is using different ISO
Thank you in advance

In order to improve graphics performance for applications running on my XDA II device, I've written my own low-level rendering functions to use in place of the GDI calls. I'd like to use the default system fonts to render strings, and this works fine for rendering English characters. When I attempt to load Chinese dbcs characters, however, they seem to be missing from the cour.ttf, tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf files.
I assume that there must be another font file used by the system to render Chinese characters, but I don't see any other ttf files in the /windows/ directory.
Anyone know how the platform is loading/rendering these characters? The normal GDI calls don't seem to have any trouble loading the necessary glyphs, so I'm hoping that they're available somehow.
Can you share how you did that? I'm looking for a way to render my font but i could not figure it out?
If you have some source code that you can share, could you email it to me at [email protected]
THanks
I think that you need to have the oriental version of the fonts because the caracters you're lookin are encoded in. May be you can have with the chinese version of wm2003se for xda2.
I did indeed need the oriental fonts. My problem is that I was looking for *.ttf files and the oriental fonts seem to be encoded as *.ac3 files on wm2003. So, the characters needed were available in fonts like msming.ac3, msgothic.ac3, etc (depending on the device).
bm_masri - I can't share my source, but if you want to render your own fonts, I'd suggest using Agfa's iType library if you want a commercial product or the TrueType library if you want an open source library. Both libraries will decode font files and give you bitmaps for the glyphs in the file.
I'm having a font issues with the imate JAMin and I was wondering if anyone could help me. When I'm using IE mobile, a lot of pages display their characters as nothing but boxes. Most pages made for mobile display work fine, for instance Google mobile, but others, like CNN.com, won't display. I have no issues other than when I'm using IE.
I'm not quite sure, but it sounds like a problem with the codepage (is that te name? ) .... Character Encoding is the keyword, at least on a PC/MAC whatever... I just have my old Samsung phone at the moment, so i dont know, how to fix it, but try looking in a "View" Menue in IE Mobile,there select Character Encoding and set it to something like unversal or try ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 enoding!
cheers & enjoy!
Chinese Characters
I have a similar problem, but with Chinese characters.
I can only see small squares, from Explorer to SMS.
No use to change the encoding in Explorer. It doesn't work.
Interesting it used to show the characters perfectly.
I appreciate any help.
Note: HTC Kaiser
I've been breaking my head over this for a while:
On devices running Windows Mobile 2003/SE with English ROM in multiline edit boxes (in PIE and User info, probably other places too) Russian and other foreign language words are broken in the middle when there is not enough place on the line.
Words with English and western european characters are broken properly.
I know on desktop windows there is a EM_SETWORDBREAKPROC that lets you change the way edit boxes break text between lines, but I could not find anything similar for WM.
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Wanna know which software can provide support to Chinese display and input on a Pharos..
I'd like to try the English version ROM here but still, need Chinese..
WM can display by itself
All you need to do is add the fonts. You can look at this solution to explain how to add the fonts to the registry.
For an IME/SIP, I suggest A4 or TouchPal.
There is also Hanwang for handwriting recognition. I haven't used it since I can't write.
One other small thing - make sure that your documents in My Documents have ascii names. In my case, Activesync choked on the Unicode filenames.
Display solution is for WM5.0. Is there any for WM6?
Thanks
cestar can meet your request
yeah i have installed the CESTAR but i can see blind screen when i open the sms ...any idea??
I checked the methods in the forum, and almost are for English ROM. When I applied that, the Chinese display couldn't work well. So anybody has any idea on Japanese dislay and input for Traditional Chinese ROM?
Please HELP~~, Thanks.
try to install CE-STAR, I think the built-in font has the japanese support
Thank you, I tried, and it worked. But the font was really terrible. I tried other several fonts like MS Yahei, however, no one is as good as the default one. Do you have any recommandation?
You can install your own font, such as MSGothic (XP) or Meiryo (Vista). Just put it in your \Windows folder, then edit the following registry (eg: for Meiryo):
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
Tahoma = "\Windows\meiryo.ttf,Meiryo"
Courier New = "\Windows\meiryo.ttf,Meiryo"
Notes: There is a compressed version of MSGothic (msgothic.ac3 instead of .ttf) in case you need to save extra space. Also, MSGothic and Meiryo are Japanese fonts and probably do not contain all the Chinese glyphs (at least for Traditional Chinese). So if you're switching to Japanese fontlink you may have some problems with Chinese display.
You can find out about more CJK fonts here:

Thanks for the information. I still have a question: doesn't it mean when I install this meiryo font, Chinese character may not be displayed correctly? I got a little confused about CJK. People here always talk about GBK, which seems include Schinese, Tchinese, Korean and Japanese. Is CJK the same, including both Schinese and Tchinese?
Thank you so much for you help. Best regards!
No, you can link multiple fonts to the same keys, that way you will be able to add Japanese display support while preserving Chinese character display. You will need to change the keys to Multi-Line String types, then enter one font link per line, like so:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
Tahoma =
\Windows\meiryo.ttf,Meiryo
\Windows\msyh.ttf,MS Yahei
GBK refers to a specific set of chinese characters that are most commonly used across east asia (China et al, Japan, Korea). In practical terms, it means you can find fonts that have the full GBK character set within one font file.
CJK is just a general term for Chinese-Japanese-Korean language sets. There is no single "set" of characters -- you can pick and choose which fonts you'd like to use, and this often means one font for each language. The reason to use multiple fonts is because, for example, Japanese kanji often have modifications of their originating (traditional) chinese character (eg: 樂→楽), and a dedicated Japanese font may render it more clearly than a single GBK font. The same goes for language-specific characters, such as Japanese hiragana/katakana and Korean hangul. You can additionally choose which Chinese support you want (traditional or simplified).
Thank you so much!! I finally did it! This really helps a lot, I appreciate that.
