PPC Win2003SE Settings for Japanese (Revised)

Posted 2004-10-02 (土) 午後9:31 by terra

日本化しよう！

Revised registry code (click here to see the outdated code)for the English OS version of PPC Win2003SE using the Japanese version of wince.nls. This has been tested with ComPOBox for Japanese input and so far works perfecty fine. Time to try a commercial Japanese input software like ATOK I guess.

Things you need…

ComPOBox from here for the Kokugo Jiten.
Nihon Win2003SE wince.nls from here.
Any version of MSGothic (you can even take from WinXP or whatever)
The registry code below…

Code for UTF-8 Japanese sites only.

Replace MS Gothic with Arial Unicode MS for fonts of other languages (UTF-8 sites) to be displayed correctly

Japanese localisation on an English OS

Temporary solution (side effects not tested for) until I can find a new copy of wince.nls from Japan: replace wince.nls with Win2003’s (1st edition) wince.nls. Ensure that MS Gothic font is in the \Windows folder and not the \Windows\Fonts folder.
This is a cleaned up version of this site’s code.
