DISCUSSION About Multilingual Internet Access 1.0 Multilingual Internet Access provides the software you need in Mac OS 8.5 to display text in WorldScript-aware applications, from one or more of the following language families: Arabic, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Installation The Recommended Installation will install software needed to display text in Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. The Customized Installation option for Multilingual Internet Access offers 5 more language packages than the Recommended Installation option: Arabic, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, and Hebrew. Removal Customized Removal allows you to remove individual language support by deleting the related fonts from the Fonts folder. However, it will not remove WorldScript I or WorldScript II, nor will it remove script resources. If you use applications that are not compatible with WorldScript, you might want to temporarily disable the WorldScript extensions by using Extensions Manager or by manually removing them from the Extensions folder and restarting your computer. Known problems * You may be able to read a document created with fonts that are not present on your computer; however you may get unreadable text when printing the document using LaserWriter 8. The workaround is to highlight the text and select a font from your application's font menu before printing. You will not have this problem with a non-PostScript printer such as a StyleWriter. * WorldScript I languages that are installed by Multilingual Internet Access (i.e., Arabic, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, and Hebrew) are not fully supported by most Internet applications at the time of this writing. You may see some unreadable text on web pages with content in those languages. * The very first time a web page using Chinese, Japanese or Korean fonts is viewed, the text may be unreadable. Reloading the page solves this problem. * To display web pages in Chinese, Japanese or Korean, set your web browser's font preferences as follows
* If you installed Multilingual Internet Access as part of the Mac OS 8.5 install, you will see only the default keyboard in the Keyboard Control Panel. You may activate and deactivate other installed keyboards as you like by using the Keyboard Control Panel. For more information: ' http://www.apple.com/support ' (c) 1998 Apple Computer, Inc.
