Japanese font support trouble
 

Hi, I wonder if you could help me with japanese font support in XP. I have activated the japanese support in regional language setting in control panel, at first glance, it seems alright, my japanese mp3 files are shown correctly in windows explorer. However, the name is in mass when it's displayed in winamp or in properties tab.

I have tried to change the non unicode into japanese (regional language setting>advance). But after I restarted my computer, the "\" sign turns into yen marks which makes me uncomfortable. My IME also turns into hiragana and kanji which makes me difficult to use them.

I wonder if anyone could solve this problem? To make windows xp show japanese font correctly without price of all stuff become messy (such as "\" turns into yen, and my ime option turns into hiragana):doh:

but what I know Winamp not supporting Unicode.

MP3 players supporting Unicode:

-Windows Media Player (for Windows and Mac)
-foobar2000 (for Windows)
-iTunes (for Windows and Mac)
-Rhythmbox (for Gnome)
-amaroK (for Linux)

Winamp is capable of Unicode, however, I think it's actually on a skin-by-skin basis and if the skin's font of choice supports it.

I remember forcing Winamp into using an alternate font to show Japanese characters, but either I'm wrong, or it requires Winamp2.x skins.

And I don't think there's anything you can actually do about Windows changing the forward slash to a yen symbol, I've just gotten used to it over time.
