The above was submitted from CWIN95, how about WIN95 ? It should be the problem of the viewer, not the submitter. Am I right?

I'd say that's the problem of the Chinese display subsystem.

BTW, it's better to use TOPICID-000000-000000-000000 for linking to a topic.

Actually, one should blame Microsoft for not releasing its API of IE so that the display engine of the various Chinese add-on can wrap Chinese text like MS' own Unicode engine - wrapping is fine when using MingLiU, a Unicode TTF font.

CC,

Did you add those white spaces manually to make the sentence wrap? If not, it seems that your Chinese engine inserts white spaces to make lines wrap.

BTW, it's better to use TOPICID-000000-000000-000000 for linking to a topic.
Oh well, I was just too lazy. I have always cut&pasted whenever I needed to add links, but haven't encountered any problems. Do you see any?

I have a little program to insert spaces. Anyway, it does not work, since punc marks are also "point of wrapping".

Thanks CC!

Let me try to conclude it:

If one does not split long lines manually, the results vary depending upon the viewers' Chinese engines.

Unfortunately, both of the Chinese engines that I'm using -- CWin95 and NJStar fail to wrap..... So, is there any workaround? (I don't give much hope.)

BTW, one thing I have noticed -- in some people's postings, commas were replaced with spaces (by their Chinese engines?), and the wrapping problem disappeared, of course.

準確一點﹐應是﹕中文長行應以人工斷行。

在 CWin95 上有問題﹖高連也用 CWin95+IE4/NC4﹐
都沒有問題。
Workaround? 用 NC 吧。不過 NJStar 的粗體
中文字在 NC 上變得很醜﹐而且很闊﹐於是人
工斷行的句子在上面又不對位了。

用 IE﹖ 對不起﹐相信沒有。

commas were replaced with spaces (by their Chinese engines?)
I don't think any Chinese engine will do so.

and the wrapping problem disappeared, of course.
不一定﹐若一個句子有三四十個字﹐之間沒有
標點﹐問題仍然存在。當然﹐這總比一個三四
百字的段落好。

我用 CWin95+NC4 和 NJStar+IE3,二者都不會在
標點處自動斷行,那麼可能是 CWin95 or NC4 設定
的問題?!

不過 NJStar 的粗體中文字在 NC 上變得很醜
NJStar+IE3 或許更糟,根本不分粗/細,看到的全
是非粗體字。

> commas were replaced with spaces (by their Chinese engines?)
I don't think any Chinese engine will do so.

Do you see any commas in messages submitted
by e.g.bad boy or sharon? I don't.

Sorry about the trash that I produced in 測試場
and the trouble that you have to move these
messages here.

NC4 是不會在標點處自動斷行的﹐但若選了
Traditional Chinese encoding﹐應該不會有
wrapping 的問題吧。

Are you using NJStar 1.6?
Anyhow, I prefer no boldface to ugly, bulky characters.

Do you see any commas in messages submitted
by e.g.bad boy or sharon? I don't.

They don't use commas, and feed in [CR]s manually.

No problem. I'm using a Perl script (within NoteTab text editor) to remove the added HTML tags, so just a few keystrokes will do the job.

BTW, is there any problem with long English lines when using CWin95+NC4 or NJStar+IE3?

但若選了 Traditional Chinese encoding﹐
I was unable to do so. NC4.04 always turned the setting back to "Western" after I had done that.

Yep.

They don't use commas, and feed in [CR]s manually.
I didn't know there are so many people (not only them) using spaces to separate words instead of commas. I saw a few times that commas(,) showed up with English in their messages, so I was suspecting that 全形逗點(,) were replaced by their Chinese engines with spaces.

is there any problem with long English lines when using CWin95+NC4 or NJStar+IE3?
Nope.

Thanks, CC! I don't even know why I try to figure out all these. Get a life, Xiren! ^_^

Choose BIG5 as default encoding.

Try NJStar 2.0.

Got it! I don't like the font of the BIG5 char-set though, and it doesn't show boldface in this mode either, so I think I am gonna stick with "Western".

Try NJStar 2.0.
Actually I'm thinking about getting rid of NJStar and only use NC4 as the Chinese viewer. I can't input Chinese without that on-screen keyboard of CWin95 anyway (I'm too lazy to memorize all the symbol positions.) ^_^

Thank you very much for your help!

CC,
I tried out NJStar 2.0, and actually liked it . Now I can use pinyin to input Chinese with keyboard since it does not require memorizing keys. Finally I can TYPE! Hurray!!!!! ^_^

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!
