Working with nonroman character sets

Your ability to switch between roman and nonroman character sets depends on your operating system.

In Windows versions earlier than 2000, you can't directly create nonroman (double-byte) Web pages using a roman (single-byte) operating system. However, you can import double-byte HTML files created with another operating system. You can then view the HTML source code in Adobe GoLive, although the double-byte text doesn't display correctly in Layout view or Preview. Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later is able to display double-byte scripts, so that you can preview double-byte files using the Show in Browser command in Adobe GoLive.

The Windows 2000 operating system with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 lets you view and create double-byte content without the entire native script operating system. Custom install the Language Pack for the script you need. See your system documentation for further information.

Mac OS 8.5 and later operating systems include Multilingual Internet Access as an optional installation. This software lets Adobe GoLive display double-byte scripts, even without the native operating system. You need to install the appropriate Language Kit. With Mac OS 9.0 and later, you can custom install the Language Kit of your choice. With the appropriate kit installed, you can create and edit nonroman text. See your system documentation for further information.
