Hi!

I use IME Standard 2002 ver. 8.1 to enter japanese
characters (romaji to hiragana/katakana/kanji conversion)
with my English/German layout keyboard.
Works well so far, but I cant change the default font (MS
Mincho) to another one (e.g. Gulim).
I tried several things already, doesn't work! As soon as
I start typing in JP, MS Mincho is used again (no matter
what I selected before in FORMAT>FONTS>STANDARD etc...)!
Anybody who can help me? Thank you!holger

If the text is marked as Korean then a font like Gulim may be a good
choice -- but Word does keep enough knowledge of languages to keep certain
associations from being made (such as using a Korean font for Japanese
text)....

Thank you for your reply, but it wont help too much
(Gulim was just an example, i cant change to ANY other
language than MS Mincho, which I dont like).
Anyway, thanks

I was able to change to all of the following fonts:

MS UI Gothic
MS Gothic
MS PGothic
MS PMincho

Note what they have in common -- they are Japanese fonts. :-)
