Configuring Your Browser to Display Chinese and Korean Characters

The ProQuest foreign language interfaces use Unicode encoding with HTML entity references. If your browser doesn't display these characters correctly, you may need to:

1. Install Chinese and Korean fonts
2. Configure your browser to display Chinese and Korean characters

Installing Chinese and Korean Fonts

Follow the steps below to install the fonts you need.

Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP

If you are using Internet Explorer with Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP, you can download Chinese and Korean Language Support files from the Microsoft Windows update site at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/default.htm?page=productupdates. (For detailed instructions on enabling foreign languages in Windows, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q177561#Task1.)

Or download the files below from the web. These files are language packs available for Office XP from Microsoft and will install the correct fonts on your system.

• Simplified Chinese - ie_zhc.exe
• Traditional Chinese - ie_zht.exe
• Korean - ie_ko.exe

Running these .exe files will install the following fonts in your system and configure Internet Explorer to use them:

• Simplified Chinese - MS Song, MS Hei
• Traditional Chinese - Ming Liu
• Korean - GulimChe

For Netscape, you need to install these fonts, then continue with Configuring Your Browser.

Following is the list of other fonts you can download from sources on the web and install:

• Arial Unicode MS
• BitStream Cyberbit
• Lucida Sans Unicode
• List of Chinese Simplified Fonts
