Japanese Bitmap Font for Newton OS

[ English | Japanese ]




Caution!!!

Current released Newton MessagePad supports Unicode, but Newton is not compatible Unicode perfectly.
Why?
Some Newton ROM stirngs function does not check 16bit long only 8bit!!!
(Unicode one charcter size is 16bit, and low 8bit of ascii code area in Unicode is same normal ascii 8 bit code.
Please reference 'STRANGE UNICODE on Apple MessagePad'.)
That is not only one function, but also compiled other rom function that used incopatible function.:
So if you input Japanese in names or dates without Japanese Enabler, you will break soup and lost your all data of memory.
But I tested that NotePad has no problem about inputing Japanese without Japanese Enabler.
Japanese Enabler : Newton System Patcher to support Japanese that released by Apple Japan for only Japanese market.
for MP130
for MP120 NOS2.0
Current released packages are not included English document, only Japanese.
I have not enough time to write English document. Sorry.
