Subject: Using Chinese at MAC OSX

Hi Felix,

I am using 6.5.4 on MAC OS 10.4 tiger. But cannot read and type any chinese from my mail box.

Information from this forum.

There are fonts come with the Notes CD. Install at least the Monotype Sans WT TC in Windows

Make use of the font in Notes by:

File → Preferences → User Preferences

Select Default Fonts on the Basic tab

Set them all to the above

After restarting Notes, Simplified Chinese can be displayed.

By the way, I read on the help manuel, need 2 files from the CD. ( .tff) can you send me FONTS.EXE to test ? happylee@e-solution.com.hk

To install Unicode fonts on your system

  1. Insert the Notes CD-ROM.

  2. Choose Start - Programs - Windows Explorer.

  3. Open the CD-ROM directory, and then open the Client folder.

  4. In the Client folder, open the APPS\FONTS folder.

  5. Double-click FONTS.EXE.

  6. Specify a temporary directory to save any of the following Monotype WorldType fonts (for example, C:/Windows/Temp), and then click Unzip:

MTSANS_J.TTF contains Japanese range.

MTSANS_K.TTF contains Korean range.

MTSANS_S.TTF contains Simplified Chinese range.

MTSANS_T.TTF contains Traditional Chinese range.

MTSANS_W.TTF contains WGL4 ranges only.

  1. Choose Start - Settings - Control Panel.

  2. Open the Fonts folder.

  3. Choose File - Install New Font.

  4. Specify the drive and directory where you saved the above fonts, choose any one of the fonts to install, and then click OK.

Many thanks,
