Support
This page
has nothing to do with the story of CCS
but only provides help to make your browser support
Japanese viewing.
If
you are running Internet Explorer 4.0 or above:
First check
to see if you already have Japanese support installed:
- Right
click anywhere on the text portion of this page.
- Go to Language
and see if Japanese is on the list. This CCS page
uses Shift-JIS coding on some sections.
- If it's on the list,
you're set. When you access a page on my CCS page
with Japanese on it, if it doesn't automatically
switch to Japanese mode already, you can simply
follow the above steps and choose Japanese
(Auto Select) or (Shift-JIS).
- If it isn't on the
list, follow the steps below to download Japanese
support from the Microsoft website.
For downloading Japanese
support for Internet Explorer 4.0 or above,
from the menu bar at the top of your browser:
- Go to Favorites
--> Software Updates --> Microsoft
Internet Explorer
- Follow instructions
on the IE Channel Update page to determine the
components installed on your system.
- Scroll down to the
bottom and see if Japanese Language
Support is already installed. If not,
check the box to download the component, which is
only about 2 Megs.
- Follow instructions
on the screen to download and install the
component.
- To use the support
after installation when you access a Japanese
page on my CCS page, if it doesn't already switch
to the Japanese mode by itself, right
click on the text portion of the page, go to Language
--> Japanese (Auto Select) or
(Shift-JIS).
If
you are running Internet Explorer 3.x:
I don't have
IE3.x on my machine, so I can't give you details on how
to do it. But if the above does not apply to IE3.x, you
can always to go Microsoft's page under Product download
or similar, to get the Japanese support for IE3.x.
For
other browsers:
I usually
use IE4.0, so I'm not too familiar with other browsers
whether or not they have easy language support downloads.
But when I use Netscape 4.0+, I have always used a 3rd
party program to enable Japanese support. The one I use
is NJWIN CJK Multilingual Viewer, a
shareware which can be downloaded from the NJStar
webpage: http://www.njstar.com/.
- Choose Download
from the menu on the left on the NJStar webpage
- Click on NJWIN
CJK Multilingual Viewer.
- Follow instructions
to download (save) the .exe file or the .zip file
in a temporary directory or your desktop.
- Find the saved file
in the temporary directory or your desktop.
- If you downloaded a
.exe file, double click on the file to start
installation. Follow instructions on the screen.
- If you downloaded a
.zip file and has an unzip program, then unzip
the file and double click on setup.exe
to start installation. Follow instructions on the
screen.
- After installation
is completed, run the NJWIN program (either a
folder already popped up or go to the Start Menu
--> Programs --> NJWIN). Click on the
biggest button on the control bar and choose Japanese
(Auto-Select) or (Shift-JIS)
for viewing my pages with Japanese on them.
For using NJWIN, even
though it solves the problem of Japanese support, for
some reason, the English fonts still come up one size
smaller than it is on a IE Japanese support. You may
still need to change the font size (try the
"view" option) of your brower in order to
display a larger font. You may need to apply that
function more than once to achieve a desirable font.
