Asian Languages In Windows?, how do i display the characters?

[The Parronator]

more specifically, i would like to display korean characters on my computer (not in place of english, just when i run this korean program).
i downloaded an IME pack from microsoft but it did nothing..
my keyboard settings do have the korean keyboard format now, i think, but it wont work. i think i need to get some other thing to actually be able to type korean.

the programs dialog boxes pop up with question marks where the korean characters should be. anyone know how to fix it?

I think downloading em works... but you'll need to get it from a site that has it and god knows were that is.

You will have to download and use the Korean character set.

Chinese, Japanese, and Korean character sets are all. The. Same. Thing. Download one of them, and you'll get all three. Google.


EDIT: As an example, here are some random Simplified Chinese characters. I don't intend for them to mean anything, but with my luck they probably do.

Find the character set and you can view those correctly.

Windows XP's Character Map allows you to select a character set to use.

I certainly hope you want to crack some Korean spy messages...because you should have no business with foreigners!

To bloody hell with all of them...

You bumped over a year old topic. Plus I don't really like that post.
