I have a pocket pc program that loads files in many languages. They are
all stored in unicode. Since there aren't really any universal unicode
fonts for embedded platforms I figure the user will just have to load
individual fonts. Now given certain characters, how can I
programatically decide which font to use in displaying it?
Example: The system has multiple fonts loaded on it. One for Japanese,
one for Hebrew, and the default ones. I open up a document and I don't
know if it's in English, Japanise, or Hebrew. I need to find out which
font to use to correctly display it. How can I tell which just by
looking at the characters in the document?

Thanks
Kalon

I think MLang is available on Pocket PC. See

Thanks. This looks like it would do the trick. But it looks like it is
not supported windows ce versions less than 4.0. Do you know of
anything that works on that, too?

are you sure about that? I think the only requirement for MLang is Internet
Explorer, that is,

Windows CE Use version 2.12 and later
Minimum availability Internet Explorer 4.0
