Asian Fonts
CBlue: For those who use CGoban2 client to play on KGS and who only see some squares instead of asian fonts, here is a solution (Tested on Windows 2000 Pro SP4, probably works similar for Linux. I'm not sure about very old Windows versions like 95.) NO WARRANTY IS GIVEN FOR ANY OF THESE SUGGESTIONS. IF SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK ON YOUR PC I DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
-Go here, and download the Cyberbit.ZIP file (Cyber Bitstream Font which contains all Unicode characters of those three languages)
-Search your Java installation for a file called 'font.properties', make a backup (just in case..) and replace it with this one:
Pampalini?: sorry, but i just installed java 5.0 and still only boxes .. other apps display japanese fonts correctly, only java has this problem
-install the IME method
-Restart CGoban2 and you're settled.
(KGS help page about fonts is Maybe someone who has tried similar for different operating systems can contribute his/her results here. MacOS XThese instructions are straight from KGS's font help page, with a small exception. 1. Right-click (or control-click) on the CGoban app icon and choose "Show Package Contents". 2. Open the "Contents" folder. 3. Double-click on the "Info.plist" file. There are two possibilities here. If the file opens in Property List Editor: 4a. Expand the "Root" list. (Click the triangle to the left of the word.) 5a. Find "CFBundleDevelopmentRegion". The string to the right should say "English". Double-click this and replace "English" with the name of the language you want to use. ("Japanese" works for Asian languages, to my knowledge.) If MacOS asks which application you want to open the file with, and Property List Editor is not available, choose TextEdit, and: 4b. Find the string "CFBundleDevelopmentRegion" in the file. 5b. In the <string> element immediately following that line, replace "English" with the language you wish to use ("Japanese", for example). 6. Save and quit. There is a side effect to this, however: the Apple menu and the stub CGoban menu in the menu bar appear in Japanese. To access the Apple menu, simply switch to a different app temporarily. Malweth - This worked great for me on Windows 2000 with no Admin access (no Admin access means you can only install Java up to version 1.3.1 and cannot install the MS IMEs). Weiqi.tom.com is going to be a lot nicer looking now :) This is a copy of the living page "Asian Fonts" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
