Ok. Chalk. Good news. You wont hear me moan and complain about charset again.


Just incase u run into people like me again, Ill let you know what happened.

Maybe its because my machine is running on Japanese Windows, but all the text documents are saved with shift_jis encoding. So whenever i save japanese on my computer (or whenever anyone save japanese files on their computer), the default is set at shift_jis.

So what i need to do, is save my document as euc-jp (or utf-8) on my computer. To do that, you need to open Microsoft Word, than save the document as webpage, than choose the .txt extension. MS Word will notify you they cant save double-byte characters, and ask you what to do. Here, you need to choose the correct font and encoding (not all fonts are available in double byte characters).



well, i again apologize for being harsh earlier on. But i really liked this program and wanted it to work really bad.

Thank you for your time
