Does the system support languages such as Thai, Japanese, and Chinese?

With version 10.2, the system began to include support for Unicode. Unicode provides a single encoding system for all major languages in which each character has a unique number. This means you can use Documaker to compose, print, and present characters from Far Eastern languages like Thai, Chinese, and Japanese.

Note

All user interfaces, help, error messages, and documentation for tools and runtimes are designed for single-byte ANSI characters and are primarily available in English. No changes have been made to the basic system interface.

This feature is designed for an English-speaking developer who wants to create documents for Asian language users.

For Documaker Studio, Unicode support is available for Windows, beginning with Windows 2000.

For Documaker, Unicode support is available on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Solaris. Printer support for Unicode forms is via GDI (Windows print drivers), PCL (via the PCL6 driver), and PDF (via TrueType font support).
