Hello

I'm was an Ubuntu user and I've just recently got into puppy linux - and I really love it.

I just about have everything set up as I like but I'm having a few issues with Japanese text. I work as a translator so I need this stuff to be working! Very Happy

It was a breeze to get Japanese input working, but there are two (probably related) nagging problems this noob can't solve. Rolling Eyes

If you see the screenshot attachment to this post, you'll see that:
A) text in the top bar of dialog boxes appears as boxes (top of seamonkey) and...
B) File and folder names in rox show up as question marks.

Please help me! I didn't notice these problems until I had already spent ages getting my puppy setup just right, so I'd like to keep installing the Japanese version of puppy as a last resort. (as it means I'll have to do everything all over again)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Yes please try Puppy4.3 Japanese edition.

1: Boot from 4.3JP
2: Desktop > Chooselocale country localtion
3: Choose your locale. e.g. un_US: English, USA
4: Chick URF-8-encoding
5: Set your keyboad.

You can also use Japanese Input Method.

I'm using Puppy 4.2.1, and have already managed to get Japanese to display properly in Seamonkey/Firefox (but not in the titlebar, as mentioned above). Is it easy to setup a way to enter Japanese text? I've been using JWPCE through WINE to enter text, then copy it to the clipboard and paste it where needed.

Is there even a Japanese-capable word processor available for Linux?

Yonさん（様w）、Shinobarさん、ありがとうございます。 Very Happy

簡単に直せるようなもんだと思ったけどPuppyの日本語版をインストールした方が早いというならそうします！

4.3がまだだと思った！早速ダウンロードして見よ。メニューとかは日本語のままでいいや！ Very Happy

Oops sorry I thought you were Japanese! Laughing

Anyway, just click the link in my post above, it'll tell you exactly how to install Japanese input in older versions (in English)

I finished downloading the new Japanese version of 4.3 so I'll install that now ... Very Happy

For your information about Chooselocale country localisation:

Left button is "Restart X", Right one is "Done? or Finished"

I don't know Howto start IME in english keyboard.
But in Japanese 106 keyboard, hit left-upper key(left of "1,!" key).
These may be set by SCIM preference.

I think that there is a part where Japanese version 4.3 has advanced more than an English version.

Please experience a Japanese version 4.3 by all means.
