i18n - enabling fonts

wxPython Users
1

I can't see Japanese unicode in my wxPython app in menus and controls. I get squares.

Yes, I am using a unicode version of wxPython.

I can view Japanese in Firefox, Thunderbird and IE, so I have the fonts installed.

My co-worker can see Japanese in our application on his computer, so the problem apparently isn't in the code.

Is there some trick to making the wxPython app aware of the existence of the Japanese fonts?

Thanks,
Ken

You may need to check your Regional and Language settings in Windows (or
whatever it's called in Mac or Linux). I would guess that your collegue
has it set up for Japanese.

Is the system set to use a Japanese locale?
