There’s some software created for SNU students to plan out their courses for the semester. I found a nice little tutorial in English about how to use it (see it here). It’s cool that the tutorial is out there, but what about the fact that when I install SNUTime on Windows which isn’t the Korean version (although I have Korean support installed and other Korean apps work) the Korean words never are shown correctly. With NateOn, I get the same thing but only during installation. After install, I can use the app fine and see all the Korean characters. With SNUTime the character problems persist after instillation.
So, anyone out there know a way to get the characters to show up on Windows without having to install native-Korean Windows?
*UPDATE*
Thanks to ‘….’ for pointing me to: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Change-the-system-locale
Just go there and change it to Korean (or some other language if you’re dealing with a different country).
Kind of SNUTime specific, but you also have to change the regional (time, etc.) settings to Korean. I guess the programmer parses the string rather than the data structure? That’s the only possibility I can think of. I have no idea why one would do that though. If he/she reads this post I’d love to hear about that.
SNUTime seems like a pretty nifty app now that I can use it. If you’re going to SNU definitely check it out.

Wow, that worked perfectly. Thanks so much! I think every explanation of a Korean program should reference that.
snutime is still VB6 based. not .net
Interesting. I was wondering why it displayed in XP but not Vista. I wonder if it displays right in 7?

That makes sense

I am using 7, so no, it didn’t show up right by default ><
