Jade Project Support Thread
 

Jade Project is a patch that let your EverQuest II supports displaying CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters. With Jade, you can display CJK characters in EQ2 without setting up your Windows.

Because EverQuest II lacks CJK character font, without doing special settings. EQ2 will convert these East Asian Languages into some weird boxes. Jade can't let you understanding foreign languages, but personally, I'll rather to read the origin characters, but not some weird boxes.

You can find the download in here.

Please feel free to post suggestions, bug report, feedbacks and etc. Any word would be benefic for this project are welcomed.

Something strange when install EQ2Map Manual with Jade
 

Hi Chris,

I need to said thanks as this UI really helps alot of ppl out there. (Include me of course!) I am a newbie about UI. When I install the EQ2Map Manual version with Jade v1.3. I found that there is no map showing up. After some test, I found that if I removed the file eq2ui_fonts, it seems everythings fine except for the text size become strange for all english characters (The characters sometimes stick together that make you hard to read). Any ideas what cause the eq2ui_fonts have problem with the EQ2Map Manual version? (Or may be that's only me have this problem.)

Anyway, Thanks in advance for any help.

my bad, actually eq2ui_fonts didn't caused this, Jade_csFont did this. :o

1.3b should solve this problem.
