Managing Double-Byte Codepages
If you are working on a CJKV (the acronym for Chinese, Japanese, Korean
and Vietnamese) font, you may want to look at your font in a double-byte
codepage.
Open the Font Map panel and in the Font window of your font select one of
the double-byte codepages.
You will see this button
enabled in the Font Map toolbar. Click it and
you will see the Font Map rearrange to represent your font with the applied
double-byte codepage. In this mode every row represents 256 glyphs that
are “assigned” to the specific first byte.
In the following picture you can see a Traditional Chinese font in Unicode
mode (in the left picture) and in Codepage 950 mode (right):
Unicode mode Codepage 950
In the codepage mode green pixels represent codes in the codepage that
are covered by one of the glyphs in the font. Cyan pixels mean codes in
the codepage that are not covered by any glyphs in the font.
