Who could tell me the reason that the SBT doesn't support the East Asian Scripts?

[jialife]

For the past three years,there is no versions of the SBT systems that could support the East Asian Scripts. I don't know the reasons. May I consider that the application developers have ignored the population of almost 2 billions?

I'm pretty sure it's not the developers, it's Logitech marketing who is ignoring it, if any.

But I assume you have seen the "Font Replacer" applet provided by a third party developer which can be installed from Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer menu ? It adds support for Chinese/Japanese/Korean as I've understood.

Hi Erland. Where can I find that Font Replacer? If I go to "Settings > Advanced > Applet Installer" I can only see two applets: BBC Radio and World Clock.

Thank You.

Thank You.

You need to uncheck the "Settings > Advanced > Applet Installer > Recommended Applet Only" option first, after that you will see all available applets including "Font Replacer"

According your guidance,I have found that Third Part application and installed , then the SBT displays the East Asian Scripts very well!

I am curious about the difference between using "Font Replacer" and the Google android fonts workaround to display Chinese characters.

I've been using the Google Android fonts method. The font looks nice and everything, but I've find upgrading squeezebox touch to be problematic. Occasionally, after the upgrade, the screen would come up blank, unless I do a factory default. This wipes out the Android font and I have to find the instructions and re-do it again.

Does Font Replacer works the same way as the android font method? It's info seems to indicate it won't replace the UI font, so I am curious how exactly it works.

Thanks.

The fonts from "Font Replacer" look like the Google android fonts and it just replacing the fonts with the CJK fonts. You can un-install the "Font Replacer" if you don't like it.

You can use any old font you like, btw, just make sure that it has all the
codepoints / characters you need.
