Frequently Asked Questions about NJWIN ====================================== Q1: How to Use NJWIN to Read Chinese on Internet ? -------------------------------------------------- A1: You should set NJWIN to Chinese Big5 or GB mode depending on the source. For Internet Chinese newsgroup alt.chinese.text, you can view in either GB or Big5 mode as long as HZ option is checked in the NJWIN Option dialog box. For alt.chinese.text.big5, you should set NJWIN to Big5 simplified or traditional. To access those two newsgroups, its recommended to use Windows 95's HyperTerminal. When viewing Chinese HTML home pages, it normally allows you to select GB or Big5 code, so you should set NJWIN to the same code, either in simplified or traditional characters. Due to the conflict between 7 bit HZ encoding and HTML language syntax, a 7 bit HZ home page can not be viewed correctly under any WWW viewer. So never create a home page in 7 bit HZ coding. Use 8 bit HZ (eg. the HZ8) instead, or better just use plain GB or Big5. As all WWW viewers can not wrap long Chinese line correctly, Chinese home pages should be pre-wrapped, and placed between the 
  and
statement. See CND-CM Chinese magazine for an example. Q2: How to Use NJWIN to Read Japanese on Internet? --------------------------------------------------- A2: You should normally set to Shift-JIS mode because Shift-JIS is commonly used in Home pages, If you know a home page in EUC coding, then set NJWIN to EUC mode. Under Shift-JIS or EUC mode, all 7 bit JIS (New-JIS, Old-JIS and NEC-JIS) are recognized automatically. This recognition can be turn off through the NJWIN Option dialog box if desired. If the Japanese home pages are not pre-wrapped or in 7 bit JIS coding, It can't be viewed correctly under normal viewer, except using NETSCAPE. Under Netscape browser, you can set the netscape font encoding to Japanese JIS, EUC or Shift-JIS depending on the source (go to Options - Preferences - Fonts, change 'The Default Encoding is' to Japanese JIS/EUC/SJIS). If you set Netscape to any of the Japanese Encoding, you must set NJWIN to Shift-JIS in order to view it correctly. Q3: How to Display CJK Text Perfectly on the Screen? ----------------------------------------------------- A3: Since NJWIN uses 16x16 font for screen display, and Windows scale it to any size that specified by the displaying program. To get perfect screen display (ie. in 16x16 bitmap), you should set the concerned program to use 11 or 12 point font for display. To get perfect display in menu or dialog box, set the font to 'System Font'. (from Windows 95's START - Settings - Control Panel - Screen - Appearance ). Q4: Does NJWIN work in Windows NT? ---------------------------------- A4: NJWIN only supports 16 bit applications under Windows NT. That means you can use 16 bit programs, like Netscape 16 bit, etc., to handle CJK. Because system controls (Button, ListBox, Edit, etc.) are 32 bits, so you could not see any Chinese display. If you are developing 32 bit DBCS application and want it to run it under Windows 95 and NT without any DBCS system support, please contact us for information on our royalty free NJSDK 32-bit DLL for linking to your application. Q5: Does NJWIN work in Windows 3.1x? ------------------------------------ A5: Not work in currently version, hopefully it will in next release. Q6: How to make NJWIN work for MS-Word 6.0 or later version? ------------------------------------------------------------ A6: You should disable MS-Word's AutoCorrect function and not allow the non-printing characters to be shown. Go to Word's Tool menu - AutoCorrect, uncheck all selections. Go to Tool - Options..., uncheck all non-printing characters.. Q7: How to use Netscape v2.0 with NJWIN? ---------------------------------------- A7: Netscape v2.0 has support for Chinese (GB/Big5), Japanese (EUC/SJIS) and Korean (KSC) text. The home page no longer need to be in pre-wrapped format. Netscape will wrap the line correctly according to the size of current screen. It has been found that setting all the font sizes to 14 points will produce best screen display. Q8: Are there any known problems with NJWIN? -------------------------------------------- A8: In Version 1.0, Windows 95's Internet PPP manual connection screen will stop NJWIN if NJWIN is active when the manual connection screen is poping up. This can be avoided by connecting to the internet PPP first, then start NJWIN. ***** This problem has been fixed in v1.01 ***** Revision History: ================= V1.02.06 (20 MAY 1996) 1. Bug Fix: NJWIN crash when printing under Netscape. 2. Improvement: a new 'Exit' button added on control bar. V1.01.05 (20 NOV 1995) Following bugs have been fixed: 1.
