Installing Japanese Fonts

OK, fellow Apple users. I use both English and Japanese on this computer when typing. And I've recently downloaded some Japanese fonts and tried installing them, thinking that when I type in Japanese, I can use them as fonts for when I'm using photoshop, but the Japanese characters actually installed themselves into the English keyboard, and they won't change even if I type in Japanese... So, how do I install Japanese fonts into the Japanese keyboard instead? It'd be really helpful if I knew... Also, I was not sure where to have posted this, but I posted it here, since it's a general Apple problem.

The fonts can't be just for the US Keyboard... That wouldn't make sense.
These fonts seem to be specially styled Kana fonts which one might use for creating artwork of some sort, and for that purpose it may make sense to just put the glyphs at the Latin codepoints for input convenience. Real Japanese fonts are much larger and have thousands of Kanji characters in addition to the Kana, with all characters at their agreed Unicode codepoints. Some examples beyond those that OS X itself installs can be found here:

  • Unable install Japanese Font Pack to Win7 English

    Dear Experts,
    I need to install Japanese Font Package on Windoes 7 English, however I could not install the font pack FontPack1000_ja_JP.msi due to the error,
    "This installer requires Adobe Reader X installed on your system. Please install Adobe Reader X before running this installer."
    Even the latest Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 is already installed on the system...
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Here is my pc sysinfo,

    Best regards,

    The Japanese Reader version already includes the Japanese fonts, so it is usable for this purpose.  Is this workable for you, or would you still like to try installing the Japanese font pack with the English Reader version?

  • Problem with Acrobat 8.12 keeps trying to install Japanese Font Pack

    I have a client who received a pdf file and when she opened it she was told that it needed the Japanese Font Pack. I gave her admin rights but it still keeps doing it. My pc with the same setup works perfectly fine with the offending file. Now everytime she opens any PDF it tries to open the offending file first and load the font pack. I was able to go into the registry and remove the keys that mention the file and Acrobat works fine as long as we do not try and open that file again. We have installed the font pack separately. The offending file opens fine in Reader. Any idea why this would keep happening and if there is a solution to stop it from happening. Thank you.

    Actually, since I started getting the security warning, I haven't tried it on another machine. You think this information might be only stored on my machine? It's worth trying... Thanks!

    Hi.
    I carrier is AT&T but I downloaded EastAsian Language pack from Hong Kong CSL.
    When you complete the download, Go to "Start" - "My Computer" - "C:" - "Program Files" - "Common Files" - "Research In Motion" - "AppLoader" - delete "Vender.xml".Then, open the "Loader.exe" and connect Bold to PC.
    When you reach to "Device application selection" page, you will see "Japanese Romaji Input Method" Check "Japanese Romaji Input Method" under the "East Asian Language and Input Support" section.
    Please let me know if the above works for you.

  • Adobe Reader X Japanese font problem in Windows 7

    This is happening if we open a PDF with Japanese font in Windows7 OS.
    Tried to install Japanese font pack for Japanese Adobe X. But that is not getting installed with an error message : 'Install Adobe X before installing Japanese font pack'.
    Only fontpacks for 10.1 version could get installed successfully. But its again same issue.
    Can anyone hele here?
    Thanks,
    Rashmi

    When that happens, can you check with the Task Manager (Processes tab) if AcroRd32.exe is already running?  If so, can you kill the process from Task Manager and try again?
    Another thing to try when this happens is to restart Windows, does it work after that?

  • Cannot display japanese font/character in WTK22

    Hi guys,
    I followed this http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Java/J2ME_and_Unicode/ instructions but I stil cannot display the japanese character on the screen both with eclipe and wtk22.
    What seems to be missing with my application? Do I have to install japanese font - if yes please provide steps on how to install or add this property...I've tried to add fonts on the FONTS system of windows but it seems that nothing happens...
    Thanks in advance...
    psyeu

    have you done this steps...
    ...Now with the new fonts installed go to home directory of the Sun Wireless ToolKit, and go into
    the directory wtkdevices.  Now copy DefaultColorPhone and paste in the same directory
    renamed to UnicodePhone.  Also, rename the properties file under the UnicodePhone
    directory to UnicodePhone.properties.  Next, using any editor open the
    UnicdoePhone.properties file and find the font section.  It should look similar to the...page 2 of the tutorial !

    Hi.  I want to install Japanese font to my BB 8220 Flip.    but I cant find right one.  I want to read and write Japanese. 
    Please somebody tell me where can I get the Japanese font from.    Thanks

    You need multilanguage device OS to be installed on your device.
    As far as I know there is no way to install additional fonts and input languages to existing device OS-es.

  • Japanese Font install

    Windows 7, Adobe Reader X (10.1.6)
    If I download the free 'FontPack1000_ja_JP' then I am able to view the doc.
    As I'm in a corporate environment I paid for FontFolio_11_1_ESD1_LS1.
    After searching and reading docs I managed to find the Japanese fonts (about 12); I've installed all and on opening the PDF doc I'm not able to view but am presented with a popup request to download FontPack1000_ja_JP
    I've asked the question on how to install in Unable to view Japanese PDF
    But no luck
    I'm in a corporate environment but can I use the free FontPack1000_ja_JP as I have purchased FontFolio_11_1_ESD1_LS1?
    I assume I am covered by the purchased license

  • Japanese font package being required for form without Japanese

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro using (as far as I know) all English characters.  I saved the form and am now trying to open it on another computer that has Acrobat Reader X.  The error message I'm receiving is "A font package is required to correctly display this page.  Click OK to direct your browser to download the add-on from adobe.com...."  The font package that it wants me to load is Japanese.  Once I load that font pack, the form opens without any problems.
    I'm not the only one having this problem, others who are trying to open the form are experiencing the same difficulty.
    So, why does Reader think my form contains Japanese fonts, and how do I get rid of them so others can open the form without having to install a font package?
    Thanks!

    As far as I can see, there are no asian characters there.  Here are the fonts listed:
    BellGothicStd-Bold
    FuturaBT-BoldCondensed
    FuturaBT-Book
    FuturaBT-BookItalic
    FuturaBT-Light
    FuturaBT-LightItalic
    Helvetica

  • Displaying Japanese Fonts Problem

    I am attempting to edit a RH7 HTML project created in Japanese.
    I have Japanese fonts installed and the page displays correctly in the Design window. However, the fonts do not display correctly in the TOC window. Typically, 演算設定選択ワークフローブロック displays correctly on the page and in the Topic Title field looks like ‰‰ŽZ&#144;Ý’è‘I‘ðƒ&#143;&#129;[ƒNƒtƒ&#141;&#129;[ƒuƒ&#141;ƒbƒN in the TOC. Whilst I can understand neither, the end user might notice.
    Does anyone know why please.

    I would advice you to install a new mid tier with Japanese language.

  • [SOLVED] Cannot get japanese fonts working in console

    First time with Arch. Did a clean install yesturday with Plasma as my choice of GUI.
    I have everything work, except for getting Japanese font support in consoles.
    First, fonts worked inside Dolphin, but looked terrible. So I added the infinality repos and installed infinality-bundle, infinality-bundle-multilib, ibfonts-meta-base, and ibfonts-meta-extended.
    This was probably overkill, but fonts look perfect in both my file manager and applications, but still no support in console, konsole, uxterm, or yakuake terminals.
    Then I made sure both "en_US.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UT8" inside of /etc/locale.gen were uncommended and then ran "locale-gen" as root to generate the locales. After a reboot the fonts still wont work, the appear as ? in console.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Last edited by lolihunter (2015-05-08 16:51:07)

    After a lot of messing around, I finally got it to work.
    Not only did "en_US.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UT8" need to uncommented, but also "en_US.ISO-8859-1" and "ja_JP.EUC-JP".
    Running "sudo locale-gen" then returned:
    Generating locales...
      en_US.UTF-8... done
      en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
      ja_JP.EUC-JP... done
      ja_JP.UTF-8... done
    Generation complete.
    As expected. Oddly enough, the output of "locale" has not changed at all, but now japanese fonts show up correctly in shell and terminals, even without a reboot!

  • Default Japanese font setting in Linux

    Hi,
    I'm using flashplayer in Debian/Ubuntu, and default Japanese font setting in flash is kind of crap...
      It seems that Kochi font should be installed.  Kochi (東風) font is very old and it is not used so much
    as 10 years ago Now Linux users use VLGothic or IPAGothic as Japanese font by default.
    My question is,
      - How users can change default font setting?
      - Where/who is the contact address for this issiue?
    #I'm also maintainer for most of Japanese font packages in Debian/Ubuntu. In my opinion, Kochi
       should be dropped in near future (see package description)

  • Japanese fonts in osx-java

    I am having a lot of trouble displaying japanese through a java app on osx.
    I have been told that the problem lies in the fact that there is not utf-8 japanese font set yet on my machine, yet the only info I could find about this mentions only windows and solaris.
    Did I miss something ?
    I am using jaguar, set up this morning, with the 1.0.2 version of omegaT, an app for translators.
    Thank you in advance for all your suggestions and hints.
    Jean-Christophe Helary

    all the fonts you mention are installed properly.
    the technical context is the following, although i am not sure what i describe is what you expect, since i am not a specialist.
    i work with mac os10.2.
    i have downloaded a java app, called omegaT, that takes an utf-8 files splits it into paragraphs and allows for the input of a text in a different language.
    there is no font selection possibility on the app. Neither a menu no a preference panel.
    when i create a japanese file that i encode in utf-8 and try to have it displayed in the app the following happens:
    1) the file browsing window does not display names of japanese files properly. they are displayed as squares.
    2) once the file is open all its contents is displayed as squares
    i tried to check how other java apps dealt with similar issues. i found a text editor/encodning convertor called SimRedo.
    i opened an utf-8 encoded japanese file and the following happend:
    1) the file browsing window does not display names of japanese files properly. they are displayed as squares.
    2) once the file is open its title is displayed properly in the title bar
    3) all its contents is displayed as squares
    4) once a font has been selected the contents is displayed properly as japanese.
    my conclusion is that:
    1) there is an obvious lack of connection between java apps and system fonts. i would like to know how to make this link. i checked sun info (java internationalization) about installing new fonts but the info does not seem to be relevant to an osx setting: they mention a font.properties file that does not seem to be on my system. and if it were to be, the place where i should create one is not explicit.
    2) i could ask omegaT's developper to offer a font selection to solve the issue (considering that i don't know much about java programming i am not even sure it is appropriate for his app)
    i hope the technical context is clearer now. if anybody can give me hints i would appreciate.
    sincerly,

  • Unable to View Japanese Fonts in Reader

    A conundrum I just can't resolve:
    I have two computers, both running XP Pro.
    I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site (version 8.1.2) and installed to both computers.
    I have a PDF with some Japanese fonts in them.
    When I open the PDF on computer 1, initially the PDF appears to display a row of dots where the Japanese text should be. Within seconds however, a prompt appears informing me that I must download a font pack to be able to display the text. I agree to the download, and it commences and installs automatically. I then have to restart Reader, upon which I can now view the Japanese fonts. Perfect.
    However, on computer 2, although the same operations take place, the Japanese fonts never appear - only a row of dots.
    I have tried uninstalling Reader and re-downloading and reinstalling. I have also tried manually downloading the Japanese font pack and installing it, with no change.
    Any ideas?

    Hmm - this is very unusual. I have installed the Japanese font pack on countless computers, and I have never seen such a problem.
    If I were to experience this problem, I would try the following
    - uninstall the font pack from Add/Remove Programs (Japanese Fonts Support For Adobe Reader)
    - uninstall Adobe Reader
    - reboot, if asked to
    - reinstall Adobe Reader
    - download the font pack from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontpack.html (make sure that the font pack version matches the reader version, i.e. font pack version 8 for reader 8.1.2)
    - install the font pack
    If all this still fails, then we'll have to come up with new ideas.

  • Help! Federal W4 form always requires Japanese font pack

    Hi! I've been tasked with automating the new hire process and the client would like to include the Federal W4 form in with a collection of other forms required for their internal new hire paperwork. So I download the form from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf, opened it in LiveCycle Designer 7.1 (on Windows XP), then saved the resulting LiveCycle form as a PDF. Now any time I try to open the form in Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 it goes to the web and requires that the Japanese font pack be installed. If I don't install it the form behaves very strangely, such as form field text disappearing anytime to tab off of them.
    Now if I reopen the the newly created W4 LiveCycle PDF in LiveCycle Designer and save it as an XPD file I can see that the font "Kozuka Mincho Pro-VI R" has been inserted into the document. I have confirmed that this font is not present in the original Federal W4 from. My question is why is this font being added and how can I get rid of it? This has to be a bug.
    Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

    Thanks for the follow-up! Yes, that makes sense. However since I didn't have the Japanese font pack or any Japanese fonts installed on the development workstation then LiveCycle must have used it as a "fallback" font for unknown glyphs. Specifically somewhere in the LiveCycle code must have been detection for what it thinks might be Japanese fonts. I would bet that you are right, if we had the right font loaded on the system then it wouldn't have been an issue.
    The performance issues are all with the Designer. There are quite a few objects in my 24 page PDF document. Since many of these PDF pages came from federal forms I imported them into Designer "perserving appearence" so the object count on each page in pretty high. Acrobat reader performs fine with the 24 page form, it's just the Designer that gets pretty slow on some operations.
    By the way, do you know if Designer will have better support for adding/removing pages from a document. When I first attempted to assemble the new hire packet 24 page document I opened each federal form individually in Designer and simply copied and pasted the document objects into a new page in a single LiveCycle document to assemble the completed document. I discovered that this didn't work well (objects would paste without the correct fonts) so I went into Acrobat Professional and completely assembled the individual documents into a single 24 page new hire packet before importing this into LiveCycle. This worked very well, but now that I have a LiveCycle document I cannot use Acrobat Professional any more for these types of operations.
    I guess my point is that assembing forms from separate documents in a one single LiveCycle document didn't work well just using the LiveCycle development tool. So my question is: are there going to be improvements to LiveCycle so that assembling documents is easier (much like what Acrobat Professional allows) and without flaw. Now that I have a 24 page LiveCycle document I cannot add any more pages onto the document from within Acrobat Professional. So another similar question is: will Acrobat Professional be enhanced to be more "LiveCycle aware" so that it can correctly add/delete pages even in LiveCycle documents. The current limitations with both products as it relates to assembling LiveCycle documents leaves something to be desired. I hope there are plans to correct this.
