    This article explains how to set the font used in Finder to a Language Kit font.


DISCUSSION

    The preference setting that determines which font the Finder uses for file and folder names may have changed since your Language Kit manual was printed.

    To set the font that the Finder uses for file and folder names follow these steps:

    System 7.x
      1. Open the Views control panel.
      2. Set the Views Font to one of the fonts installed by the Language Kit.

    Mac OS 8.0 and 8.1
      1. In the Finder, select Preferences from the Edit menu.
      2. In the Font for views pop-up menu, choose one of the fonts installed by the Language Kit.

    Mac OS 8.5, 8.6, and 9.x
      1. Open the Appearance control panel, select the Fonts tab.
      2. In the Views Font pop-up menu, choose one of the fonts installed by the Language Kit.

    Note: The fonts included with each Language Kit are designed to support English characters and each Kit's specific language only. The Language Kits do not currently support viewing multiple languages (for example, Japanese and Korean) simultaneously with the same font.

    If you are using a Language Kit with Mac OS 8.0 or later, you may need to install a Lanaguage Kit Updater for compatibility. For more information, see the following articles:
