Hi does anyone know how to add in the basic language packs. I have Chinese Korean installed in my XP and it works fine in all my app's. I'd love to be able to appy chinese/korean fonts in my videos.

Thanks

Here is the prosedure I used to write Chinese characters in both Pinnacle Studio and VS10:

To create a title in text such as Arabic, Cyrillic or Chinese font, it is necessary to have your Windows operating system enabled for this font. To do this, use the settings in your Windows Control Panel: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Advanced > Language for Non-Unicode programs.

To change the typing direction from Left to Right to Right to Left, open Title Deko. Click on Title > Typing Direction > select from the options available.

Good luck.

Thank you Jason, I already have the fonts enabled and can use them in every program except Video studio for some reason Video Studio changes them to other characters : 武士 comes out ??.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Dan

Same thing happened with me - could write in Chinese in Word, Excel, etc, but it's the UNICODE part that's important. It's on the Advanced Tab - you have to choose you preferred language in the 'Language for non-Unicode programs' section.

Well, it worked for me!

Bingo Jason, that did the trick. Thanks.
