Multi-byte: This group box wraps all configuration settings for international
languages such as Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, Japanese, Korean,
Thai, Hebrew, Greek and others. This support is only available for VT emulation
sessions.
Mode: This selects one of the several multi-byte modes to support single-byte
and double byte character sets. Select the type of character set encoding. You
can select from:
None: Use standard VT international character sets or National
Replacement Character (NRC) Sets.
DBCS: Double Byte Character Set. Selecting this encoding will process
double-byte characters based on the selected code page. Note that 8-bit
VT commands are illegal in DBCS mode.
SBCS: Single Byte Character Set. Selecting this encoding will process
single-byte characters based on the selected code page. Note that 8-bit
VT commands are illegal in SBCS mode.
UTF-8: Selecting this encoding will process the data stream as Unicode
in the UTF-8 encoding. Note that most 8-bit VT commands are illegal in
UTF-8 mode.
Code Page: When DBCS or SBCS modes are selected, this setting allows
selection of the appropriate code page. Only the code pages available on the
device will be listed. If none are available, the mode will be forced back to None.
All our TE applications display international character sets using Windows CE
Font Linking. This makes it possible to link one or more fonts, called linked
fonts, to another font, called the base font. Once you link fonts, characters that
do not exist in the base font are displayed from the linked fonts. For example,
linking a Japanese font to a Latin font gives you the ability to display Japanese
characters when using a Latin font.
Font linking is typically used to enable Roman fonts to display non-Roman
characters. To extend font linking on your device, you can examine the following
registry setting to determine the mappings of linked fonts to base fonts.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink
You can add additional links by creating additional registry values:
"base font face name" = "path and file to link to," "face name of the font to link"
Example: In this example, the Japanese-specific font MSGothic is linked to the
base Tahoma font. When searching for a character, the Tahoma font is searched
first followed by the MSGothic font. This enables support for a larger variety of
characters without switching fonts.
