http://www.eq2interface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4640
"GU47" and "ProfitUI Reborn v4.7.1" CAPABLE.
******************************

Thank you for downloading Jade Project.


1. Summary
Jade is a patch that let your EverQuest II supports displaying CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters.

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.

Actually, Using this UI isn't the only way to make your EQ2 support CJK characters. As an alternate solution, you can add "cl_language Japanese" to your EQ2.ini, to set the program into Japanese Localized Mode. But this is a defective solution. For example, when Japanese Localized Mode is enabled, combat log will become weird, like "Char's damage" will change into "CharのDamage", it would be a pain if you are using ACT. Also, string %p will works weird, like "Its" will change into "それの" (because some Japanese translation is pre-loaded).  



2. Installation
Backup your old ui files before the installation please.

Installation:
Put those xml files to "*EverQuest II Folder*\UI\<your custom UI folder>" please
Put that ttf font file to "*EverQuest II Folder*\UI\fonts" please


2.1. ProfitUI Users
And because "ProfitUI Reborn" is very popular in East Asia EQ2 community, so there's an extra support for those ProfitUI Reborn users.

Please extract "_ProfitS.zip" and replaces the files. I'll try making Jade capable with "ProfitUI Reborn" as possible as I can.


2.2. Windows Vista Users
Currently EverQuest II not completely capable with Windows Vista, you have to install the font first.

To install the font of Jade Project, right click "Jade.ttf" then select "Install", probably administrator permission required.

As Japanese Server already did enough capability work, it's useless in Japanese Server. This patch is made for English/French/German/Russian Servers.
