May I ask where the Chinese fonts and encoding files in BCDW are? I looked at the bcdw package, and inside there are:
And I also saw the interface in the CD boot menu in both Russian and English. It should be possible to implement other languages, but the frustrating thing is that I can't find the Chinese font and encoding files. BS those Russians. If anyone has them, please help post one. I want to make a Chinese interface boot CD (not Russian or English, but a Chinese startup interface).

Font files:

I've seen the Wuyou Forum, probably more than a year ago.
It doesn't seem to have much significance, and I haven't used it.
It's better to use the Chinese version of grub.

Can Grub achieve such an effect? When the cursor moves to each menu item, it dynamically prompts the function of this menu and the notes I added. There are some other things. It's still more reassuring to rely on BCDW for booting. Some .gz files can only be booted by calling the Linux boot tool. Below is the simple interface of Russian startup. Now it's really troublesome to find Chinese fonts and encodings.

(Updated, Chinese submenu) Bootable CD Wizard has already completed the Chinese subset 2007.3.16 23:18:34

What I said about using grub is only in terms of Chinese support.
Each software has its own characteristics, give full play to advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The BCDW Chinese localization support tool introduced upstairs is a tool that has long stopped development.

Thank you very much, Brother lianjiang. It's really a pity to stop the development of the character set for such a good tool. I'll download it and analyze it. It's also because the Russians didn't include Chinese fonts and encodings in it.

It's all for naught. The number of Chinese characters that can be displayed in an interface is rigidly limited. I've completely given up. I'll try Time and Space Naughty Package and carefully test to prevent invalid connections. I hope this situation is improved in the current latest version. Replace the original Russian font. Even when displaying Chinese, a few Russian characters will occasionally pop up.

The word count issue should be achievable through multi-level menus. As for the garbled code problem, there's no way around it, heh. When will I also get to use bcdw's Chinese menu.

For someone like me who doesn't use many Chinese characters, heh heh.

Who is familiar with the.FNT file structure of BCDW? Please let me know.

Once I figure it out, I can let VtMagiK.com add a command to generate the.FNT in BCDW format.

I looked at CHINESE.FNT, and the structure seems to be:
The first 128 bytes store the list of non - repeating Chinese characters, up to 62 Chinese characters, and the rest are filled with 0.
The bytes from 4096 - 128 are used to store the character patterns, and the character patterns of Chinese characters start from 2049 bytes.
But what is the starting loaded ASCII code? Is it freely specified or 0C0h?

I have completed the program, which is set to replace 32 Chinese characters. I don't know if it will cause interface chaos.
Wait for further explanations from experts. Not releasing for now.

Thank you, Mr. Ben Shi. It will be useful when I make a bootable CD-ROM pocket version (210MB).
