Windows doesn't like Japan?

Post by Graphiix »

Well, I was making a new signature with a new style.

As I took a Japaness girl, I decided to put a little Japan text font " MingLiu " and when I wrote, it was like a simple AZ/QW-ERTY.

I give it a look on Google about this problem. And people said that I've to change my computer language just in time to write in Japan, because my french system won't be able to run it.

I'm not quite sure it will work, and I'd like to know if it takes a long time to switch a language to another one.

By the way, if anyone as any suggestion about how can I write a little Japan text, with this MingLiu font or a similar one, I'd like to know how!

Thanks in advance!

Try these two (1 and 2)

Your problem is that the font "Mingliu" doesn't work ?

Bullshit about the time thing... my friend studies Japanese at university level and his PC is set to UK standard time for sure.

Windows has poor support for Japanese out of the box unlike Mac OS. Are you using a custom font?

Only possible to change the system language if you have Windows 7 Ultimate.

Other versions need a re-install in the desired language.
