Hi,
I have a great curiosity about this (for more, see
http://www.d-jackson.com/family), so I gave it a little try. If you have a
Chinese TrueType font installed, this may work. I hope it works even better
for you than for me.
=====
if !d.window eq -1 then window
!p.font=1
device,/tt_font,set_font='MS Song' ; Must be an installed Chinese TrueType
font
erase
xyouts,/norm,0,.5,charsize=4,'!Z(4E00,4E02,4E10)' ; These work fine for me
;xyouts,/norm,0,.5,charsize=4,'!Z(5510,601D,541B)' ; These fail on my system
end
=====
As it is here, this puts up a plot window and draws three very nice
characters whose meanings I don't know. :-) I don't know why many or most
characters I tried fail, but they cause an immediate crash of IDL. In other
Unicode applications I can see the other characters perfectly, so my font is
OK. For details on Unicode values for Chinese characters see this large PDF:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U4E00.pdf
For RSI tech support, here's my system info:
IDL> print,!version
{ x86 Win32 Windows Microsoft Windows 5.5 Aug 28 2001 32 64}
Kristine, I hope this helps you.
RSI, I hope you can help me! :-)
Cheers,
