Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Enabling International Support in eCS

Content Type: text/plain

Rocky,
There is a guy named Wayne who posts on the Usenet OS/2 newsgroups, such
as comp.os.os2.apps, who I believe lives and works in Japan. His e-mail
address seems to be rondonjin@yahoo.com.

You might post your question to the newsgroup, or try to contact Wayne
directly.

I'll probably get more details later but stated generally, I need for her to be able to see Japanese characters on screen and use the keyboard to enter characters in hopefully standard way. At least the successful display of characters can be seen in the following web page:

During installation and in anticipation, I was sure to install international fonts (I assume this is connect to DBCS support but is probably not enough). I tired going to the Country Palette but that doesn't seem helpful by itself. I enabled Japanese character display in her copy of Firefox (in Options) but that is not sufficient (although probably required). Is it a matter of having the right CONFIG.SYS? Do I need a separate copy of CONFIG.SYS, one for normal English operation and one for when she needs to practice her Japanese? Any advice would be welcome and thanks in advance.
