You need to change your Language settings to allow for East Asian language support. You must have administrative privileges to change this setting.

WINDOWS XP

  • Click START
  • Click CONTROL PANEL
  • Double click REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS Select the LANGUAGES tab
  • Check the box for East Asian languages to install the language files for Chinese and Japanese.
  • Click APPLY (you may need your Windows CD-Rom to install these files)
  • Restart the Computer, then run the program.



  • If you own Power Japanese, check to see if the Japanese fonts (Hiragana and Katakana TrueType, labels beginning with PJ) are installed. Do so by going to Start, Control Panel, and double clicking the fonts folder (or, click Start, click Run, and type fonts) Then, scroll down to find PJ Hiragana (TrueType) and PJ Katakana (TrueType) fonts. If they are not listed, insert the Power Japanese CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.

    Click on the File menu in the Fonts folder and then select Install New Font. In the Drives window, change the drive by choosing the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive. Double-click on FONTS. In the list Of Fonts window, select the fonts you would like to install then hit the OK button.

    Restart the Computer, then run the program.

    WINDOWS VISTA

    Insert your Power Japanese CD-ROM.
    Click the Start menu (Window in the circle) button at the bottom left of the screen.
    Click the CONTROL PANEL
    Double-click the FONTS folder
    Go to File, Install a New Font. Press the ALT key if you don't see the File menu at the top of the screen. Click here for a visual.
    Navigate to your CD drive (may be D: or E:) and open the Fonts folder on the Power Japanese CD. One by one, install the PJ Hiragana and PJ Katakana fonts. Click here for another visual.

    Restart your computer and open Power Japanese and notice the fonts will appear normally.
