wxHtmlWindow and japanese on Win2k

wxPython Users

Hello,

I'm using wxPython for an application that is translated in several
languages. So far, i18n and unicode support have worked perfectly.

I've however a problem in the following setup with the attached sample
code:

   - wxPython 2.4.0.7
   - python 2.2.3
   - Windows 2000 in Japanese

In this setup, japanese characters are displayed as empty boxes in the
wxHtmlWindow widget. The same code works fine in other languages, or
on WinXP...

I have no compiler to check if this is the case in wxwindows itself,
or in the binding.

Does anyone have an idea or at least a beginning of a clue ?

Thanks in advance,
Frédéric

You simply don't have fonts with the required characters, or use a
font that doesn't have them.

I forgot to mention that in the actual application (not the test
program I sent), the menus, buttons,... are displayed perfectly. The
whole system is in japanese too

Does the Html widget force some specific font by default ?
