Windows XP includes five Chinese fonts and several other Asian font sets as well. All you need to do is tell XP to use them. If after completing the following instructions you still have problems displaying Chinese in some but not all programs or web pages, see my FAQ on changing the default language for non-Unicode programs and web pages. Some Web pages have special self-rendering fonts that require no special setup to be viewed on your system, but in general if you do not have East Asian languages activated you will not be able to view CJK documents.
Don't worry if you've already installed XP , but I should point out that you can enable East Asian languages during installation by clicking this button, which opens the Regional and Language Options control panel:.
If you've already installed, just follow these easy instructions to get to the same place. If you only would like to view Japanese Websites on Web browsers such as IE or Firefox you only need to take this step. Others steps are not necessary. Here the method is explained with Windows XP English version, but you can install Japanese fonts on Windows XP of other languages using the same method.
When you access to Japanese Website via Internet Explorer IE for the first time, a message appears asking "whether or not to install language pack : Japanese". Meanwhile, if you select "Never install any language packs" at this point "automatic install" will not function from next time.
If you have selected this in the past you need go through manual install. If you have accessed Japanese or Chinese Website in the past and selected "Never install any language packs" when the automatic installation message appeared, automatic installation will not function.
Confused about "proportional" vs. This refers only to the non-Chinese glyphs contained in each font, like Latin letters and Japanese kana, and does not affect the Chinese characters themselves. Example of proportional English fonts you may be familiar with are Times and Arial.
A monospaced, or non-proportional font, would be old versions of Courier , in which every letter takes up the same amount of space from side-to-side just like the output of a typewriter. Another significant international development in Windows 10 is the introduction of a new complex-script shaping engine — the Universal Shaping Engine — that allows any complex script in Unicode 7.
Users have the option to install a suitable OpenType font for correct shaping behavior for any script in Unicode 7. Note: While the Windows platform is able to support display of additional Unicode 7. In particular, apps that do their own low-level text-display processing may not display a script correctly unless they were explicitly designed to support that script, even if they call platform APIs that use the universal shaping engine. Also note that platform frameworks do not provide font fallback behavior using non-system fonts.
Other scripts in Unicode 7. For the previously-supported Khmer, Lao and Thai scripts, the fonts used for the Windows user interface were changed in Windows 8. Also, for several font families, new weights were added to extend the font weight options for content and app creators:. Character coverage for previously-supported Arabic and Hebrew scripts was extended in several fonts to include all characters in Unicode 6.
A significant font addition is the Segoe UI Emoji font, and color font support. Color fonts use an extension to the OpenType font specification. Color font rendering using the Segoe UI Emoji font allows emoji symbol characters to be displayed using full-color glyphs that are also scalable because they use TrueType glyph outlines.
Another addition in Windows 8. These fonts are designed to be used together in documents with elements at different sizes to provide readability and typographic consistency. The Sitka fonts have basic Latin, Greek and Cyrillic coverage. They are intended for use for print or on-screen content, but not for user interface. Some significant changes were introduced into Unicode version 5. In earlier versions of Windows, Uniscribe included support for shaping Old Hangul text, though not in accordance with the KS X standard.
In Windows 8, Uniscribe and DirectWrite provide support for Old Hangul text in accordance with the Korean standard, and font support for Old Hangul text is also now included. In Windows 7, Unicode variation sequences were supported for certain scenarios only. In particular, ideographic variation sequences used in Japan are supported, and the Japanese fonts in Windows 8 support a number of ideographic variation sequences. For certain previously-supported scripts, the fonts used for the Windows user interface were changed in Windows 8.
In some cases, support for a script was added to an existing font such as Segoe UI ; in other cases, entirely new user interface fonts for those scripts were added. The user interface font changes are as follows:.
Among additional fonts added for previously-supported scripts is the Urdu Typesetting font, which supports Arabic script in Nastaliq style sometimes referred to as Perso-Arabic script.
This font has been significantly updated in Windows 8 to support many more symbols, including complete support for Emoji characters used in Japan and elsewhere.
