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 <PRE> and </PRE> 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 *****
