Language Kits: Viewing Foreign File/Folder Names In The Finder

This article explains how to set the font used in Finder to a Language Kit font.
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
Mac OS 8.0 and 8.1
Mac OS 8.5, 8.6, and 9.x
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:
