SYMPTOMS
When you install and use Commerce Server on an operating system that uses a Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS) to display non-ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) fonts, certain utilities that are included in the SDK, such as PipeReg.exe and PipelineCompWizard.dll, do not display text properly.



CAUSE
These utilities have a hard-coded default font of Tahoma. However, other languages, such as Japanese, must use the MS P Gothic font to display properly.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the default font in the source code of the affected tool, and then recompile the tools.

The source code for each tool is provided in the Commerce Server SDK. You can modify the code for each tool to use the appropriate default font for your language, and then recompile these utilities by using Microsoft Visual C++. The source code for each utility, and the utilities themselves, are located in the Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server\SDK\Tools folder.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
