Hi Mark,

I didn't see any replies,

Because yours was the first and only reply so far.

but I did see that International support does not
install by default. The help file says:

You're right, it was not installed by default, so I installed it.

More fonts showed up in Setup, Display, Fonts, but alas Arial Unicode MS is not
among them.

My UTF-8 Japanese characters are still displaying as various western symbols.  :-(

To install international fonts

If you are running a non-English version of Microsoft Windows, the
Reflection installer should detect the character set used by Windows and
automatically install the relevant international font files. (This happens
whether you select the Typical, Custom, or Complete Installation option.) If
your PC is configured for a code page that the Reflection installer does not
recognize then a Typical Installation will not install the fonts you need.

Reflection provides a complete set of international fonts. Install these
files if the Reflection installer did not recognize your code page, or if
you want to be able to work with additional international fonts. To add
international font files to your existing installation:

1       Exit Reflection
2       Open Windows Control Panel, and double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3       Select Reflection from the list of installed programs, then launch
the installer by clicking Change.
4       Click Add/Remove.

5       Display the list of Reflection features, select the International
Font Files feature, and select installation to your local drive.
6       Click Next and proceed with the installation as directed.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Reflection, Japanese, and UTF-8 on Win2000?

Hi HP3000-L,

I have Reflection for HP 12.0.6 installed on Win2000.  I am logged on to
HP-UX
via telnet, and I am running an HP-UX application which generates Japanese
characters in the UTF-8 encoding.  But I am not seeing the Japanese
characters
rendered as Japanese characters on my screen.

I have Reflection's Setup, Terminal, Emulation, Host character set field
set to
UTF-8.

I have Microsoft's Arial Unicode MS font installed as reported by Control
Panel, Fonts.  But this font does not appear on Reflection's list of fonts
at
Setup, Display, Fonts.

If I select various Asian-sounding font names that do appear in
Reflection's
Setup, Display, Fonts, I still cannot get Japanese characters to appear on
my
screen.

If I manually type in "Arial Unicode MS" in the Font field of Reflection's
Setup, Display, Fonts, it appears to be accepted, but I still cannot get
Japanese characters to appear on my screen.

Now if I copy my Reflection screen to the Windows clipboard and paste it
into
Notepad with Notepad's font set to Arial Unicode MS, then I do get the
Japanese
characters that I expect.

So what is the trick to get Reflection to render Japanese UTF-8 characters
as
Japanese characters within the Reflection display window?

Thanks...
