But nothing output to text area. Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

xtzh,

I suppose you are using the Chinese maps for the handwriting input method.

I am also using the Chinese maps, but all Chinese characters in the map are viewed only as blank squares. Can you share your experience?

[SIZE=100]Yes, I am using the chinese maps.
You can use a chinese font to replace the font "Arial.ttf" under "Destinator\skin\all".[/size]

Thanks for the help.

Can you guide me to get one Chinese font which is usable? thanks again!

You can find a chinese font in the windows desktop system(WindowsXP or Windows7 in simplified chinese version).

For example, copy "simsun.ttf" from WindowsXP(in "windows\fonts" directory) to "DestinatorApps\Destinator\Skin\All".
Then delete the file "arial.ttf" in "DestinatorApps\Destinator\Skin\All", and rename "simsun.ttf" into "arial.ttf".

That's it, good luck.

Thank you for your guidance, I'll have a try!

I replaced the arial.ttf by simsun.ttf and then rename it to arial.ttf, yet there doesn't seem any change, what have I done wrong? Please help.

Could you show me the map info which you are using?

I'm using a simplified chinese map, so I replaced the "arial.ttf" with a simplified chinese font. If you are using a traditional chinese map, you may replace the "arial.ttf" with a traditional font.

I think I am using the same map as you do, i.e. simplified Chinese, Q2 2009 map, but the map only shows the name of streets as blank squares instead of the proper Chinese names. Sorry I am not able to post the images of my GPS here, as I dont know how to capture the images.

The file size of my arial.ttf font (it was renamed from the simsun.ttf) is 10 M. Is it identical to what you are using? Please advise. Thanks.

[size=100]Maybe your destinator system include more then one directory under "skin". If so, keep the "ALL" directory, and remove the others.[/size]
