Configuring DBCS support - VT

To support double-byte character sets (DBCS), your Windows computer and BlueZone VT display session must be configured for one or more double-byte languages.

Configuring Windows

  1. Open the Windows Control Panel, and click Region and Language.
  2. In the Keyboards and Languages tab, click Change Keyboards.
  3. In the General tab, click Add.
  4. Select one or more language keyboard check boxes, and click OK.
  5. Click OK twice.

    The Input Method Editor (IME) loads for the language so you can input double-byte characters.

    Note: You might be required to provide your Windows Installation CD in order to load the double-byte character support. Also, you might be required to reboot your system before these new settings take effect.

With multiple language support, the input language is changed by pressing Alt+Shift. An icon in the Windows status bar changes from EN (English) to the other language symbols.
