Language support for UI application in win98

Hi all,
I have developed a application that supports localization in .net.
It shows all the controls with english and hindi text depending on the
culture selected.
The application runs well on windows 2000 and windows xp but when run on
windows 98 the hindi text appears as garbage. Can anyone help out
with this.(I have installed the .net framework on windows 98)


Regards,

does Win98 support unicode? I'm pretty sure unicode support is required to
display hindi text.

Well, some controls will support it, if you have fonts installed for it.
Other controls will not.

(note that you are not allowed to redist the fonts from Win2000 to the Win98
box)

Hi all,

Then how do I overcome this problem in 98. I want to display the UI text in
hindi as well as english. I have installed one hindi font on that
machine.But even then the text appears garbage.

Thanks

As I said, you have to carefully pick the controls you use to display the
data. You have not said what controls you are using, so its hard to advise
beyond "stay away from form captions, menuitems, and textbox controls.

As long as you have a Unicode Hindi font (hint: many of the freely
downloadable fonts are not Unicode but are font hacks that map ASCII letters
to Hindi glyphs), and stre/load the resources properly, they will work.
