chinese fonts?

[Withold Gregoritza]

I have to embed some chinese text into the front panel
of a VI. I have LV 5.0 (german) and WinNT 4.0 (german)

The same problem with russian fonts was easy to manage,
after installing the fonts to the system I could choose the
kyrillic-fonts in labview. But it seams that this way doesn't
work with chinese fonts.

Has anybody experience with using chinese fonts in labview?

I'm not an expert on this, but until Win2000, the windows OSes
don't handle multiple scripts/languages very well. If you are
using a Chinese version of NT, it should work fine, but mixing
them isn't well supported by the OS.

I also know of a company that bought some dual byte fonts that
have the same name as some existing Latin Fonts. Again, I don't
know all of the details, bu
t apparently there is a way to install
additions to Arial or other Latin fonts so that the lower characters
are Latin and the dual characters are Korean or Chinese or whatever.

If you don't get anywhere with this, you may want to post to
info-labview, if you haven't already. I know they follow that
list.

You can use the Windows Chinese systems like Richwin, Chinese star,
etc., to type Chinese characters into the front panel.
