Applies to:

WebVue versions supplied with PcVue version 11.2 and earlier.
WebVue versions supplied with PcVue version 12 onwards use different technology to which this article is not applicable.
Microsoft Windows NT and 2000 versions:

  • Chinese Simplified
  • Chinese Traditional
  • Japanese (not tested)
  • Korean (not tested)

Sun:

  • Java 2 Runtime Environment (J2RE), Standard Edition V.1.3 and V.1.4.
Summary:

This article describes how to enable the use of Chinese fonts (and in principle, other Asian fonts).
Details:

Chinese characters in some fonts display as boxes in WebVue even though they are displayed normally in PcVue.

Solution

You may either select other fonts or install a more recent version of the Java 2 Runtime Environment.

Example

Using the Chinese Simplified version of Windows 2000, a PcVue mimic window looks as follows:

Chinese_example_on_PcVue

In Webvue V1.3 (with J2RE) the mimic shows:

Chinese_example_in_WebVue1_3

whilst in Webvue V1.4 (with J2RE) the mimic shows:

Chinese_example_in_WebVue1_4
