Even on this Windows XP machine I can't see Chinese (because the East
Asian resources aren't installed, and the last time the computer went
with me to the home office, they couldn't find the distribution disks
and it refused to load from the copy of the disks they keep on their
server), so I don't know exactly what you're referring to, but 'bright'
is one of David Prager Branner's favorite examples of a character
that's supposedly semantic/semantic but is actually just a
semantic/phonetic.


Dyl says :

If the machine is yours, click anywhere on the desktop using your mouse.

Now would I have voluntarily chosen a Winbox?

I don't know what you would do, voluntarily or otherwise ;-)

Are you using a Windows emulator or Win XP OS? I thought you were unfamiliar
with Win XP, as I've been under the impression you're more used a mac or
something.



Press F1, you should get the help and support up for Windows. In the
search
field in the top left of this help window, type in 'ime' and let it
search.

At some point it will probably ask for my registration and serial
number, which are doubtless kept in a lockbox in Piscataway.

Over my head here. I didn't have this problem at all...


It should come back with the "pick a task" called
"Add another keyboard layout or Input Method Editor (IME)", that should
tell
you pretty much everything you need to install east asian fonts. In
particular, you have to set "Regional and Language Options" which occur
in a
pop up window. In that window you'll see "Install files for East Asian
Languages" and you have to tick the box next to. If you want to do
inputting
and have the ability to change encoding in pages, then you have to set
the
"Text services and input languages" options, by following the advice
given
by Help and Support.

If not, then:

Unreadably small, with no zoom box anywhere.


The image is 1028 by 768 pixels. Try saving it and then using Start >
