Troubleshooting of Chinese character input in Photoshop5.0

After PhotoShop5.0 is installed, once TypeTool (text tool) is used to input Chinese characters, the "CouldnotcompleteyourrequestbecausethenecessaryCMapfileswerenotfound" dialog box is displayed, prompting the user that the Cmap file is not installed

After PhotoShop 5.0 is installed, once TypeTool (text tool) is used to input Chinese characters, the "cocould not complete your request because the necessary CMap files were not found" dialog box is displayed ", prompt that The Cmap file is not installed, making the Chinese character input fail. It is estimated that this file is an interface file for Chinese character input.

After analysis, we found that this is because the Cmap file was not installed when PhotoShop 5.0 was installed. Generally, when installing PhotoShop 5.0, users use the "Typical" installation method. some options of PhotoShop 5.0, such as Cmap Files, are not installed in the system, in this way, errors are generated because there is no Chinese character interface during Chinese character input. To do this, you need to select the "Custom" installation method during installation and choose to install "Cmap Files" (preferably all options so that PhotoShop 5.0 can obtain the best features ).

After installation, you can enter Chinese characters in PhotoShop 5.0. However, when entering Chinese characters, we found that the Fonts list box contains only English or pinyin characters, rather than Chinese characters. Therefore, it is inconvenient to select Chinese Fonts. This is because PhotoShop 5.0 is flawed in terms of font recognition. After PhotoShop 5.0 is started, a Chinese font list file adobefnt will be available in the C: Program FilesCommon FilesAdobeTypespt directory. lst. this file not only provides Chinese Fonts that can be recognized by PhotoShop 5.0, but also the names displayed in the Chinese Fonts (FamilyName: and Winname:) of the Fonts list box ),.

However, when PhotoShop 5.0 loads a Chinese font, it replaces the name of the Chinese font with the file name of the font file, making it inconvenient to select a Chinese font. To make the Chinese font name in the Fonts list box more intuitive, you must modify the strings following FamilyName = and Winname = in the adobefnt. lst file. In the adobefnt. lst file, there is a prompt for each Chinese font, each of which starts from % BeginFont and ends with % EndFont. The following is an example. For example, there is a paragraph as follows:

% BeginFont
Handler: WinTTHandler
FontType: TrueType
FontName: HopeSun
FamilyName: HopeSun
StyleName: Regular
FullName: HopeSun
WritingScript: Roman
WinName: HopeSun
% EndFont

From FamilyName: HopeSun and WinName: HopeSun, we can see that this section is used to describe the font "". Therefore, we only need to change "HopeSun" to ".

After this modification, we can enter the Chinese characters of the selected font at any time in PhotoShop 5.0.
