[SPV C600] Try to read japanese character - HTC Tornado

Hi !
I tried to make some registry hack in order to read some documents with japanese characters in it.. But I failed. I don't understand ...
I have a french Rom and the default font is Segoe Condensed. So I copy new font into my Storage card in windows\Fonts\ directory, especially msgothic.ac3
Then I add these key in the registry :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink]
Segoes Condensed="\\Storage Card\\windows\\Fonts\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
Tahoma="\\Storage Card\\windows\\Fonts\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
SimSun="\\Storage Card\\windows\\Fonts\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
... and many other links (font used in my documents)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]
FontPath="\Storage Card\windows\Fonts"
I checked that the fontlink is activated and finally i reboot my phone...
Everything goes right but when i open my files with ClearVue ... I always have squire instead of japanese characters...
Any ideas?

OK, you need another font set for CV,
pls try to those attached CV JP font into Storage Card\windows\.
i thinks it will work,

Thank you very mutch Asukal for your help !
Unfortunately .. it doesn't work. I tried to copy them into my Storage Card in windows and windows\Fonts and even on the system ..
But I'm wondering about these files.. they don't have any extension.. is it normal or should I rename them with .ttf ?

they doesnt need any extention.
this was taken from Japanese CV applications,
and worked on a WM5.
so it may different style of font?
Any way, CV doesnt read font of TTF or ac3<on WM5 and PPC3>
The way,, if the CV for SmartPhone JP, or such like application,
you can extract them and take those files,
Or,,, location of those file??
i thinks same folder as CV.exe or windows folder.
But can not place them on \main\windows....
i will check the Chinese SmartPhone how they do?
Now it no battery charging to check!

Wow this is a quick answer
I've just try to copy these files on the CV directory... But without success ..
I'm gonna write an email to Wettek to get more information about it ..

my chinese smarphone doesnt have CV,,
and i couldn find any japanese CV for Smartphone now,,

Anyone have the solution ? T_T

wetek didnt give you solution?
Are there any other application for your desire?
No Japanese MS SmartPhone Exisiting now,
No chance to get from there,,,,,
So, i will chack it again possiblility!

In fact they said that it would work with japanese font installed. But I've added this font (msgothic) and it don't work either.
I did not find any japanese rom for smartphone except from microsoft *for development purpose*. It's in such rom that i've extracted ac3 font.
I can't even try these new dictionary :
http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&productId=191833
http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&productId=191878
They need to be runned under a japanese rom to work.
:x
I don't understand why microsoft don't make patches to enable other languages in WM5 SP/Pocket

hi, i agree that!
anyway, i checked SDK emulator Image for japanese SmartPhone,
then i have found registries as follows.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SkipTable]
"Courier New"="005c"
"nina"="005c,00a5,007e,0391-03c9,2026,2116,221a,25a0-25ff"

"MS UI Gothic"="\\windows\\nina.ttf,Nina"
"Courier New"="\\windows\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
"Nina"="\\windows\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
can you try this? if wettek corect, your smartphone has jp font you can read.
But you can modify strat as: Storage\

I've copied my files into the real windows folder (not on my sd card) And I've added your key. Unfortunately I can't add the two first key in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
because I can't write japanese characters. I've restarted my SP and still nothing!
I'm gonna be mad :shock:
Can anyone makes me a cab file with these registry hacks, I'll try it again with all keys added.
Thank's Asukal for your help and your patience !

hi,
i tried to make CAB,
But this is my 1st cab for Smart Phone,
not sure it work or not.
1 is the font in \Storage\windows
other is font in \windows
i will take my japanese friend who is famililar to Smart Phone here

Hi,
I guess the C600's system font is Segoe Condensed, not Nina.
Please try as follows,
REGEDIT4

About the Japanese characters, use MobileRegistryEditor, and try to copy and paste from this article to the registry that loaded into MRE.

You're right it's the default font.
Thank you, I'm gonna try it right now.
EDIT: just a question : should I use 'string' for all values?

I'm sorry guys, nothing happened.
Still the same problem.

Hi,
I've tried to copy the contents (4 font files) of CV_JP_FONT.rar into \Windows folder (not under Storage Card or \Windows\Fonts folder) and loaded Japanese PDF document with ClearVue PDF in my Dopod S300 (HTC Star Trek).
Certainly it works...
Of course, Japanese system font has been copied, and related registry also set in my S300.
Pls check again.

Can you download one of these lesson and try reading them ?
http://www.tevader.com/apprendre-le-japonais.php
I'm wondering if it's not because of the sunsin font used in these documents i can't read them...
EDIT :
These files are already in my windows directory...
I downloaded a japanese pdf files and it till doesn't work
I should miss something.. it's not possible ! :evil:
I've also tried to enable chinese character. Nothing !
Is it possible to use a real rom under Smartphone emulator? If so you can try with official Orange ROM. See under this section "SPV C600 French ROM" or tell me how should i do to make a full backup? (maybe with awizard 1.3 ? )

I've downloaded a DOC file from the site you mentioned and open with ClearVue Document, it can work quite correctly...
I think the CV font is not depend on the original font in DOC or PDF files. In this case, the character is certainly displayed with MS UI Gothic font that installed in my phone, even though the font is specified as SimSun (S/Chinese) in the original DOC file.

For now I can't do anything for about a week. I'll not have an acces to the web. I hope that i will find a solution to my problem during this time...
Thank's to both of you. See you next week

thanks kyunga your covering fire! :wink:
alncool> kyunga is the 1st Expert of SmartPhon in Japan.
i beleive you can solve soon!

XDA Atom changing T9 Dictionary Language

I found in this forum different languages of T9 dictionary.
Do you know how install them since i tried but dll files are copy protected?
Thank You

Please stop shouting, you're hurting my ears! :wink: What you need is this:
LOCAL WORD COMPLETION AND SPELLING CHECKER
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Spell Check]
"Main_Dict"="\'whatever location\mssp2_nl.lex" (dutch office 95+ lex file)
"User_Dict"="\'whatever location\user.dct" (will be done for you by OS)
Code:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip] (keyb input word completion in your language ;O)
"DictFile"="\whatever location\statdict.dat" (get a hold of one in your language)
"ProbFile"="\whatever location\dictprob.dat" (get a hold of one in your language)
Taken from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41442&highlight=dictfile
I tried to copy mssp2_it.lex into the atom.
I had to set off readonly.
Now I have 2 mssp2 files. One "_it" one "_ en"
Then I couldn't copy statdict.dat and dictprob.dat since they are hidden and I can't change this behavior
Any help?
I can't solve that problem
Thank You.
Copy them to for instance \Windows\Italy and let the registry entries reflect that. Don't try to copy them to \Windows, that will require a bit of fancy stuff that I wouldn't get into if I was you.
Thank You.
I was able to do that only with "mssp2_it.lex" successfully copyed in Windows directory.
But with many problems.
Noy the others files will not be copyed in any place since I receive a message those are "system" files
Do you know some file manager who can manage hidden files and properties of files on PPC? Freeware would be great
total commander
Thank You
I just downloaded it and I'll try tomorro since here is night.
Hope you can help me more since I feel I'll not able to do all the right settings.
Thank You.

Hello.
I copied all the file in Memory Card
I added the string
Main_Dict = \Memory Card\mssp2_it.lex
and
User_Dict = \Memory Card\custom.dct
Thant does not exist as file this custom.dct
But nothing!
In the SIP Key the DictFile = statdic.dat even I have modified the path will return to "statdic.dat" when I rest instead of remain \Memory Card\ etc etc
Any help?
Thank You regards

as far as I know there is no good Chinese Plug-in for windows mobile 5 smartphone.
There is only one file you can install for you to read Chinese in Directory. But not in IE.

This is the file...if you are using WM5 you need to change the registry
HKLM\software\microsoft\Fontlink\Systemlink\
Nina
change "\storage\windows\font....." to
"\windows\font....
HKLM\software\microsoft\Fontpath\
(there is only one string value here)
change "\storage\windows\font....." to
"\windows\font....
Then restart....
If you want to uninstall it, you have to use remove program first. Then go to \windows\font\ and change mshei.ttf nina.ttf to mshei.tt nina.tt. Then move them to direstory other than \windows\ and restart.
then delete those two files (otherwise those 2 files can not be deleted)
copy chinese font file(for example:sunfon.ac3) to your /windows folder
modify registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Tahoma"="\windows\\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song"
"Courier New"="\Windows\\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song"
"Segoe Condensed Bold"="\Windows\\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song"
"Segoe Condensed"="\Windows\\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song"
"SC_Song"="\Windows\\nina_cs.ttf,Nina"
"Nina"="\Windows\\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song"
how do I modify the registry?
I have monster chinese (WM5 ver) with my reg code
too bad it's wasted (it's supposed to use with Dell X51v, but WM5 sucks)
mactiontech told me the monster chinese (core) for pocket pc can be used on smartphones
all I need is able to read Chinese on IE, WMP, and GSPlayer (WM5 ver can be used on SDA)

FONTS FONTS and more FONTS (how to edit)

Hello there,
been here in this forum for a while and learned all by myself till now ... now I really need help for something .... look at the screens provided ... it`s from "Post your LEO screen" thread. It`s a nice theme, but I need to know couple of thing about the fonts:
1.Look for example at Settings tab screenshot .... how can I edit my font so it can change just the headname of the TAB not the whole TAB itself? In other words ... how to make a font that is different in different places of the phone?
I think I must modify some mode9 manila files, but I don`t know witch one is for what ... is there an editor like CHOME visual editor but for manila tabs ....
2. How can I change the colour of the text on font ... lets use the same SETTINGS TAB as example ... the text is WHITE and also grey ... how can I make the white for example BLACK ? What should I modify ... I think I must modify again some mode9 manila files but again witch ones exactly ... how to find out?
3. Look at MESSAGE TAB ... what should I modify for color text for time and SENDER of SMS ? Maybe is the same as changing the text color anywhere in the phone ... but not sure again how to do that ....
It would be so nice if someone can really help me .... don`t know if the place of the thread is here, and not in DEVELOPMENT section , because there are more people who know lot about manila files ... but I would like to try that find someone here.
Thanks in advanced for all your answers ... here is the whole theme in screenshots : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5941044&postcount=2178
Asked the creator of the theme, but he seems to not understand what exactly I want ...
HI
I don´t have the fonts from the screenshot but i have some other!
I´m sorry about that i have no screenshots from the attached fonts.
Hope you like it. The Fonts are cab files. Install at your device. For changing uninstall first and than install another one.
Hi ... thanks for the answer .... but I don`t need fonts ... I have the fonts from the screenshot ... I want to know how can I edit them so there are different fonts in different menus with different colors on some of them ... how can I edit fonts as they appear in the phone at all ... that information I need ...
Do You know what ROM that is? That looks sweeeeeeeet!
Anybody

It`s Satisfaction FONT ... but please stick to the point of finding solution ?

Click to collapse
Sorry like I said I can't help otherwise I would... Not to be a pain but would you mind sharing the cab to that font since you mentioned you have it?
Finally I`ve done what I wanted ....
for those who want to know here is a little tutorial :
There are a total of 5 files in /Windows that refer to FONTS. These are :
Cour.ttf -> TF3D light font
Tahoma.ttf -> WM regular font (regular text)
Tahomabd.ttf -> WM bold font (task and bottembar and other bold text)
HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf -> TF3D Regular Font (all the bigger title text in TF3D -> Calls, mail title, settings title, weather title etc.)
HelveticaNeueOTS -> TF3D Bold Font (all the small text in TF3D -> Appointmentsmail example, settings, weather)
So if you want to make a font of your own just do the following :
1. Download a font to your PC (fonts can be found anywhere in Internet, for ex. www.fonts101.com
2. Download a software named FontCreator ( www.high-logic.com/fontcreator.html ), or similar. This software is paid , but I found a cr***ed version of it. Open the font (xxxx.ttf) you downloaded in step 1 with FontCreator, go to Tools > AutoNaming and rename the font to one of the following (in accordance to what exactly do you want to change in the looks of your font in your phone):
The fontnames you should put in are:
Helvetica Neue OTS --> for Cour.ttf
Tahoma --> for Tahoma.ttf
Tahoma Bold --> for Tahomabd.ttf
HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin --> for HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf
Helvetica Neue OTS --> for HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf
YES ... Cour.ttf and HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf have the same Autonaming !!!
Then click NEXT and then FINISH. Now you just need to go to File > Save (or Save As) and save the file, but remember to name it again as the same way you named the file in Autonaming option, but this time include the extension (.ttf).
3. Repeat that with every file you want to change. At the end you need to put those files in /Windows folder of your device and replace the original ones (backup old files first) using for ex. Resco Explorer. Or you can also create a .cab file using for ex. Quickcab and put all files you need to change in that same .cab and install it to your device (I`ve done it that way, cause I want to be able to just delete it and bring the original font back).
And now you have a completely different look of your phone. Any questions you have .... PM me and I`ll try to answer them.
Thread that helped me answer my question (thanks to original author) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=454792 ----> Name of the font files are different , cause this is for WM 6.1
You can find interesting fonts here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450335 (again don`t refer to the tutorial at that thread, cause it`s for WM 6.1)
Inserting two files : by request the Satisfaction FONT (in a .zip so extract first) and a .cab I made witch has the Calibri font as main font and the Satisfaction font as Bigger Title text (changed HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf - just like in the images posted at post one of this thread).
P.S. Still want to find an easy way of changing the font COLOR of every TAB, so advices are welcomed.
Many thanks for that .
The attachements have .ttf files in them? Any idea what I should do with these? I thoughts these were cabs .
The first attachment is a .cab file ... just install it. The second is the Satisfaction.ttf font. You can create a complete font using the method I wrote. But I`m sure that you will need to resize the font using FONT Creator , or else you will not get the result you need.
I can make you a .cab with the Satisfaction font, but I`m sure that the result wont be that good , as a mixed font on your phone. Just try the Mixed font.cab I provided !!!

[REF] Greek Document tab + Howto find manila file names for all language

Hi all
I am not a manila guru.. and this is my first dive in to the manila naming ocean...
I started this thread when some person that i asked for the filenames to have Greek language
in the documents tab he refuse to tell me EVEN the filenames.
So when i figure out how it works i deside to put together this Howto for other people.
This is a tutorial, a howto find the manila file names for the varius language,apps and tabs.
You will need
a) ManilaHASH.exe
b) Manilafiles.txt
Files are provided in the end of this post.
In his tutorial we will try to find the manila files and filenames to have the document tab in
Greek Language.
The same way works for any tab and any language...
So lets start.
The manila files that holds all the strings are the xml ones...
1. Open the manilafiles.txt in a text editor you will see lines like this one
5bb3a45f_manila \windows\htc\album\assets\images\btn_camera_press.qtc
The first part its the actual filename.(You will find that file in the windows folder)
The second one its a virtual path that refers to that filename.
(I dont know how and why they just are linked and the manilahash app use this to produce the
actual filenames.)
Lets find now the filenames for the document tab.
2. Search the Manilafiles.txt file for the string 'document' and when you find the first instance
scrool down to find the lines with the xml files
in our case the lines are :
35bfc9f0_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml
4e4ebb4e_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorer.en-us.xml
43326f20_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorerbrowse.en-us.xml
4db93f9f_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorersettings.en-us.xml
1a93e5c6_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\expandeddocument.en-us.xml
The first part of those lines is the actual filename.
Those are the files that we need to find them in the \windows folder of the device and copy
them for editing. So find them and copy them from the device to your pc.
Before go to the next step, lest do a test now just to see how the manilahash.exe and the manila
naming works.
3. Open the manilahash.exe and copy and paste the "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml"
to the manila file path textbox.
Then press the "get manila" button ... you will get the 35bfc9f0_manila witch is refered in our text file.
The same goes for the others files... just check them.
4. Now lets go for the other language - the greek
In the filepath for the first file "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml" change
the language code from en-us to el-gr the greek language code, and now the path string its like this :
"\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\el-gr\docicons.el-gr.xml".
(Here you can find all the language codes to letters for each of the 2 parts, the Primary language and Sublanguage)

5. Copy this to the manila file path textbox of manilahash.exe app and press getmanila to get the name
of the file for the greek language witch is this: 7139AFEE_manila.
So now copy the file 35bfc9f0_manila and rename it to 7139AFEE_manila.
Follow the same procedure for all the files.
The open the all files with a text editor and change the first line the string en-us to el-gr and save.
Transfer all the files to \windows folder of your device and after a softreset you will have greek (or any other lang
in the document tab.
The procedure is generaly the same for any other set of files or tabs... and for any language...
I dont now if the text file with the names covers all the manila files... i did some try and find attemps
and all the files where there.
If i can help you with your search just post the question here.

LOL Thanks alot (Ευχαριστώ)
I just read this today, very useful! Any idea how this works for custom tabs?
Cheers for any pointers.
Hola Colossus ;-)
I know this thread isn´t "warm" anymore, but doing some research for "FullThemSwitch" witch CHTS (or manually ) I stumbled across this one
Guess we both encountered the same "attitude" when asking "certain" people for information , guess not everybody is into sharing knowledge - since information is power At last let me also congratulate you, because you actually "practice what you preach" Love your signature
I'd all but forgotten about this thread and there was no thankyou meter last time I posted. So, your thankyou meter just went up by one.
Without you I wouldn't have been able to find out which manila files to have translated, for those wanting other localisations of my ROM series.
Cheers again!
THX great work (ευχαριστω)

Thanks a lot my friend. May i ask you something - My documents tab <bar> at the top of the screen is empty without writing <Documents> (from the begining). Do you know perhaps how or what file makes it appears again? I have an HD2 with the latest Greek Rom.
Interesting informations, I think you are a manila guru!!
