The Japanese Partner CD includes a full set of 14 fonts available. Fonts are provided in both Unicode and ANSI formats.

Selection of Internal Code SUPPORTS BOTH UNICODE AND ANSI APPLICATIONS

Unicode is fast becoming the mainstream standard in the software industry , such as those in Microsoft Office 2000/XP Suite are Unicode conformant and are suitable for processing multilingual documents. Non-Unicode ANSI applications are still supported , examples: Adobe PageMaker and Eudora.

SINGLE CURSOR TEXT PROCESSING

Single cursor text processing means cursor movements on any character work the same way as English characters. In the Unicode mode, the cursor will no longer walk into an East Asian character and there is no possibility of scrambling the text.

FRIENDLY USER INTERFACE

The Input Prompt Line allows total control of the input environment and enables the user to input CJK characters with ease. In addition, the Control Center provides intuitive and powerful system functions. It occupies a very small space on the screen when floating and can be hidden as an icon on the Task bar.

Meta Converter

In certain graphics applications, direct input of Japanese characters may not be possible. Meta Converter is designed to export Chinese characters to the Clipboard or a file in Windows Graphics Standard Meta Format (WMF). The user can then transfer the data to a graphics application such as CorelDraw and AutoCAD.

Single-Byte Converter

When a graphics format can not be used (such as the Text Path function in certain applications), the Single-Byte Converter can be employed as an alternative to the Meta Utility. Basically, the Single-Byte converter creates a new single-byte TrueType font (similar to the "Symbol" font) based on the Japanese character input. Documents using a font thus created will always display properly on any Windows-based computer (provided the new font is delivered along with the document) because the character output is independent of any language support system.
