Setting up Windows for language switching
Installing Windows languages
We recommend that you install all the languages that your application will use, on both
the development and runtime computers. Installing languages turns on the Windows font
support features, which allow applications to display characters for different languages
using a single application font.
For details about installing languages, see Windows Help.
PanelView Plus and VersaView CE terminals are shipped with languages already
installed.
Setting up Windows fonts
For applications that will run on a PanelView Plus or VersaView CE terminal, install the
fonts that the application will use. For applications that use the Windows 2000 or
Windows XP operating system, the fonts you want are generally installed when you install
the languages for the application.
For details about choosing fonts that work well with language switching, see page 15-14.
