For a long time I have been going to chat.yahoo.co.jp to practice my japanese in their java based chat rooms....
The Japanse characters always worked fine in the Java-based chat until very recently. I just started taking a class in Java programming and I had to download some things from the Java site, Virtual Machine/Software Devlopement Kit, stuff like that, and now the text won't show in the chat anymore. I can still read Japanese characters on web pages just fine, and I can type them with NJ Star communicator or the IME, but they won't show up in the Java chat. I know there is also an HTML version of the chat but it doesn't work for me either.
I'm going crazy trying to fix it, I miss my friends from the chat. Any ideas??
I don't know a lot about how the Java VM thing works, but from what I understand now, I HAD the Microsoft version of it, and when I installed the Sun Java version it overwrote the Microsoft version, which is unavailable for download now because of the lawsuits against Microsoft.
