Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters do not display ...

Hi there,
I recently noticed that no characters show up on Skype at all, they appear only as squares, however if I copy and paste these into a different program, then the characters are displayed. This is obviously a display problem which is specific only to Skype, any suggestions? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling in Chinese, but even on the install screen, only the header bar displayed correctly, everything within the program displayed only as squares. Also changed font to an Asian font which I use when typing Chinese, but still no success.
Solved!

Hi,
I had a similar problem after updating. Oddly enough, having an Asian font made things worse. This seems to be an issue for people using multiple Asian languages.
A quick fix that worked for me was to change the IM font to Arial Unicode. To do that I had to click on the "Display More Fonts" button and change the Arial Unicode font to "show" in the Control Panel window that opened. Back in Skype I had to close and reopen the "Options" "IM fonts" window and then select the newly available Arial font.
Now CJK all display correctly, but they're not quite as pretty as they were.
Hope this works.

This solution worked for me. However, I hope the skype dev team comes out with a fix for this consistent problem.

Chinese and Korean characters not displaying in navigation pane

I have an issue with Chinese and Korean characters not displaying on the tabs in the navigation pane:
I have 2 RoboHelp projects (using RoboHelp 8 with the updates installed) to generate WebHelp, one in Simplified Chinese, the other Korean. The HTML files, .HHC and .HHK were sent out for translations. I have set the appropriate language in the project settings, everything almost works, except for the text on the Contents, Index, and Search tabs. (I'm not using a skin.) I have read in various threads that the lng file should be edited using the RoboHelp interface, and this seems to be the crux of the problem. The characters do not display correctly through the RoboHelp UI.
The computer on which I generate the WebHelp is Windows Server 2003, and I do not have the language packs installed. (And am having problems getting hold of the language packs to install to see if this fixes the problem.)
Aside from installing the language packs, is there anything else I can try to help resolve the problem? (The characters in the content are displaying as expected.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Perhaps something in the Translation Info section of this page might help? (The specifics are for Japanese, but I believe the issue would apply to all double-byte languages).

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks. The name looks like e.g. "??????? ???? cn.nytimes.com"
Chinese character of the site name is displayed ok in the head of the browser window and there is no problem reading chinese web content. I use Firefox Portable 11 /English from portableapps.com in Windows XP.
I googled and got some tips:
1) Set your browser to recognise Chinese language internet sites.
Windows users: Under "Tools - Options" on your browser's menu-bar add Chinese to the languages list.
- I did this.
2) Set your browser's "Character Set" or "Encoding" to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).
Encoding settings can be changed under the "View" option in your browser's menu-bar.
- It was already set to UTF-8.
3) Windows users: If Chinese text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
- This has been done when I installed Windows.
I still don't get any Chinese fonts in the bookmark names. I can edit the bookmark name with chinese characters and then save the bookmark, it works fine. But why does not Firefox recognize the characters when saving bookmarks? Help is appreciated.

No I didn't change anything deep beneath the hood. My problem didn't apply to the URL, but to the name of the link or bookmark header or whatever you would like to call it. (When hitting Ctrl + D there is a Name field). I only got ???????? instead of chinese characters in the name. Also for e.g. www.cntv.cn ...but maybe all China is not in the whitelist either. ;-) But anyway, this was not the real problem for me.
Apparently I was wrong as after a reboot of the computer it worked. The solution seemed to be to add Chinese to the language list. I don't know why it was not enough to restart Firefox?
Now I only have problems to show chinese characters in the name field of my external link manager... But I guess it is not an issue for Mozilla.

Chinese, Japanese, Korean Language Support

There were already a number of suggestions about how to get Chinese, Japanese, Korean installed, but none of the message threads were related to the new Curve 9300.
The Blackberry Desktop Manager, even if updated to the lastest software, does not offer an option for Chinese, Japanese, Korean to add under the Application Loader section.
Also it seems to be impossible to find the cjk.alx files online for download.
I would be grateful if anybody could give me a precise explanation on how to install those languages and be able to read as well type in them.
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
As this thread is nearly a year old, I will jump in. Please see this helpful KB:
KB05305Localization support for BlackBerry smartphones
Languages on a BB are controlled by the specific OS package installed to the BB, available via the official download portal:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/apps-and-software/desktop-and-device-download-sites.html
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
5) Launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC. If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
Don't forget to backup.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Some TC characters do not display

Some traditional Chinese characters do not display in AppleWorks 6. E.g. in Canglie I type B,H,D,N and the character I want appears with a green exclamation mark beside it. When I press Return, it does not display in my AppleWorks document. I tried Apple LiGothic Medium, Apple LiSung Light and BiauKai but no use. Sure would appreciate help!

Can you tell me what the green exclamation mark
stands for?
No idea.
And Yvan is correct regarding the likelihood of an update to AppleWorks. The last (probably in both senses of that word) was in January, 2004.

Smartforms - Chinees characters are not displayed properly

Hi,
The chineese characters are not displayed propery when logged in EN in the logon screen, but we are able to see Chineese characters when logged in with ZH - chineese in the logon screen. This is happening for Sales order and Purchase order and for Japan also we fee see the same issue.

Hi,
It is a printer issue. The printer needs to be configured to support the Chinese chanracter set.
Normally when we are able to view the chinese characters properly in the print preview but not properly displayed on the output it is surely a printer problem.
This kind of problem we faced many times.

Importing Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Arabic from Word to Indesign CS5.5 ME Edition

Hi,
I am currently working on 13 languages leaflet, and I am importing my word documents in using Paragraph Styles direct in to my document. The document I am producing is one continuos story, and I need to introduce Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic to the document.
I am using the Middle Eastern version of Indesign, so it can handle the text. But when I bring in the Word Document it totally ignores the Paragraph Styles for the text and places in with the font used within word.
I need to bring in the text as follows,
Chinese     MHei Light/Bold
Japan          DFGothicPStd W2/W5
Korean          SMGothicStd Light/Bold
Arabic          GeezaPro Regular/Bold
Is it the formatting of the Word Document I need to concentrate on, or the way I introduce this in to InDesign?
The styles I want work if I set them by hand, but I need them to work when importing the Word Document as I have many of these to produce,
Thanks
Steve

Your line breaks will most likely be incorrect if you don't turn on the Japanese Composer.
It is almost absolutely impossible to accomplish your goal without having a font - any font - installed on your system that has that glyph. However, if it's showing up in Word, than means that you must have that glyph installed, right? What font are you trying to use in InDesign? You might already know that Word will auto-substitute fonts when it encounters a missing glyph, so we really don't know what font is being used to render that one glyph. The whole sentence might be in MS Mincho but one glyph might be pulled from another font if MS Mincho doesn't have that glyph.
That being said, you're going to break it if you don't know how to set Japanese type in ID. It's not something where you can just copy text out of email and paste into your English layout.

Error message from Adobe Reader. cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly. Print looks like gibberish

Trying to view/print PDF documents from website. Print looks like gibberish and is unreadable. Problem is with the embedded fonts. Error message from Adobe says cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly.

Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.

This question was previously published but no answer has been found.
Error message is :
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
Many pdf documents display this error with Adobe Reader 8.1.0. We have errors for embedded fonts 'F0','F3','F7' and so on.
It looks like a Adobe Reader bug because :
- All PDF files can be opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0.5, 6.x and 7.x, can't be opened with 8.1.0 version.
- the 8.1.1 update removes only the bug for 'F0' error message (issue #1572280).
The solution :
- to publish a 8.1.2 update to fix this important bug
- is there a registry parameter or tool option to disable the checking added in 8.x version of Adobe Reader ? The 8.x version catches more errors to be compliant with Adobe specification but Adobe reader must be
compliant with all documents generated by third party products.
This Adobe Reader bug applies to Windows Vista, XP Pro SP2, 2000.
Thx,

Just to let you know, for anyone else with this problem. I had this problem occur on a MAC when you tried to do save to PDF in excel. This was all happening at the point of generation of the PDF in my case.
The fix was to delete ALL the microsoft preferences, but perahps only the font cache needed to be deleted.
I deleted the following areas from the local users userprofile on the mac. On windows, I would probably log in as a differnet user to try to see if the problem just exsists for one particular user.
Here are the sections I deleted:
Library/caches/metadata/Microsoft*
Username/library/preferences/com.microsoft* ( and anyhting with microsoft in it)
I did leave the entourage settings though.
hope it helps someone with a similar issue.

The Japanese file name is not displayed.

I'm using Mac OS 10.5.3(intel)/Adobe Media Player 1.0
In "Personal Videos",The Japanese file name is not displayed.
Example, "日本語.flv" is added, ".flv" is displayed in "Personal Videos".

Thank you for reply.
>Try this: Go to the Apple menu > System preferences > International > Languages. Add Japanese to the list of languages, if it does not appear there already. If you drag Japanese above English in the list, the finder and many other applications will open next time with Japanese menus. Even if you do not want Japanese menus, make sure Japanese appears somewhere in your list of languages. Just having it there unlocks Japanese features in certain software, like Japanese encoding in Apple's Mail application.
When trying, the problem was not improved.
>If the Japanese menus make things hard for you in certain applications, you can set the language of specific applications individually using the following method: First, select the application's icon in the finder and choose "Get Info"from the File menu.
>
>Expand the Languages section of the Get Info window, and you'll see the languages available for the application. If you check Japanese and uncheck English, you will get Japanese menus; if you check English and uncheck Japanese, you'll get English menus. If both are checked, the language is determined by the order of languages in the International Preferences Pane.
In "Get Info" of the application based on Adobe AIR, "Languages section" is not found.

Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly.

I am currently using Adobe Reader version 9.1.3. When I open certain files, it displays the following message, "Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly". Some fonts are actually missing and will not display when printing. I have tried updating adobe but the problem still persists. Under file properites, the following font TTF5BC9A0t00 is recognised by Adobe as true type and custom encoding. Anyone has any suggestions for fix??
Cheers

BUT, does it say "embedded" or "embedded subset" next to the font name. If not, the font isn't included in the file and if you don't have it, it can't display or print it.
The file creator will need to embed the fonts properly although "some" fonts don't allow embedding. This could be one of them.

The font 'Didot' contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display.

I am receiving this message:
"The font 'Didot' contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display."
The message appears only in one form, not others. It appears only once, the first time I click on the form after opening it, then not again until I reopen the form.
The font is not embedded in the form and does not exist on my computer. The font is not employed in any field in the form or in its static elements.
Would appreciate any help in getting rid of this very annoying message.

I have a 2 page PDF form that is getting this error message every time I open the document.
"The font "HelveticaNeue" contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display."
The document has been in use for a year (never having this error message) and needed some updates. All that was changed was the addition of some extra fields and some options in one java script to reflect extra addresses in a drop down menu.
HelveticaNeue was in a PDF layout (from Illustrator) for the background but this variable was removed when I converted all fonts to curves (outlines) and replaced it in to my form. Under Properties>Fonts HelveticaNeue isn't even listed. All fields are Myriad Pro (triple checked) so I cannot understand how it is still an issue. It does not seem to have any impact on the document apart from the error message. It is hard to remove when it does not appear anywhere in the document except for the error message.
I have worked backwards and deleted all java scripts and it is still an issue. I have re-imported the background with active HelveticaNeue fonts and it is still an issue. Deleted any fields that relate to java scripts and it is still an issue. Tearing the hair out.....
Any help would be hugely appreciated as I would prefer to not have to start again from scratch.
Run FontBook and verify the Font. If defective open your System Install CD open Fonts. Drag this font to Desktop.
If you can Remove the defective font by draging to Trash (if system font you'll have to give username and Password) .
Then drag the copy on Finder in same folder dective was removed from
THen Restart Computer with shift key down. Hold down until a screen comes up where you must sign in. wait until screen fully loads. Now try the PDF. If works shut down Acrobat (or Reader) and the restart computer normally.
If this doesn't work do the repair located at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377

Hello Anubha,
I am having a similar problem on my machine. I was using Word 2008 and I created a PDF inside Word.
I am opening the file on the system itself and I am running Windows 8.1. I am using Version 11 of Reader.
When the PDF I created (my resume) attempts to open, it says: cannot find or create the file Times, Bold. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
However, the entire Reader keeps freezing and will not allow me to open or test print the document. Also, it is not displaying any of the Bold Times New Roman Print. Can you please help? Thanks.

After I optimize my pdf I get this error "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FONT NAME' Some characters may not display or print correctly.
