Someone on the forum at www.chinesezither.net found a terrific site with tools for learning Chinese. I cannot claim credit for finding this. www.mandarintools.com/The program "DimSum Chinese Tools" is particularly great. You can convert Chinese/Pinyin/English. Finally I will be able to figure out the titles in my erhu books. Strangely enough, I am getting hungry. <g> Oh no, I've been smited. <sniff> Who did I offend? <sniff, sniff> Best wishes, David

I know about that site. There was a site whose link I deleted off my favourites folder coz it's use was no more exists, which was a site mainly about Chinese fonts and Cantonese. Most of the links on the rather long list of font resources were dead. Luckily, I downloaded a few useful ones. Unfortunately, there seems to be very little sites that let you download Chinese character fonts...

I just wanted to see what would happen. Sounded like a D & D thing. Thanks for the link to the learning Chinese page. Sure saves a lot of time compared to slogging through my dictionaries, that's for sure. I'm continuing study this year with my tutor. Carlos

I've been using a Chinese word processor from NJStar. I noticed that they also have a program that allows you to write a character, then hear its pronunciation. You can also look up characters from a radical input and an idea of how many strokes the character is. Has traditional and simplified characters.

You can already do that (minus pronounciation) on your Microsoft Word! Bindows XP has it already, just need to install it.

You can with japanese, but the chinese tools appear to be lacking in this regard. i could not get the mystic "ime pad" that had the radical lookup and sketch pad to show up no matter where i clicked. Of course im just now trying to learn chinese and the config interface of all the chinese input methods are in chinese (a pretty safe assumption i guess, but doesn't help me) I found njstar chinese pen and it has sped up the lookup of characters. Again this support is SUPPOSED to be in xp but i cant find ANY information how to enable it.

Have you tried changing the settings? For me, I can't get the IME writty character pad thing because I have ME. For XP, you can get it (thought sometimes it appears, sometimes it seemed to disappear). I'm not sure because my sister has her laptop with XP and she keeps it at her uni accomadation, so I can't troubleshoot you.

Windows 7 Ultmate will allow you to utilize as many languages as you desire. I posted on the sticky thread "Chinese Keyboard" using Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
