TITLE: Need a little more enhancement in Unicode-support
According to my test, Notepad++ 5.3.1 can handle Chinese (or files have Chinese in the names) correctly. Recent file list can also show Chinese file name correctly. And the title of the tab can display Chinese correctly too.
But it's strange, the title of the Notepad++ Main window is still something like "C:\??.txt" if there are some Chinese characters in the file name.
You must set your system font to something that can display chinese characters.
Under XP, right click on the desktop, choose Properties -> Appearance -> Advanced, click on the shown active title bar and enter the desired font face. You may want to do that for inactive title bars too. I don't know how things are different under Vista.

I have tried as you have said, but it doesn't work.
And any way, I guess the steps you have mentioned is not necessary for applications which support Unicode.
I can see Chinese correctly without making any change to my system settings in some applications which support Unicode very well (e.g. Notepad.exe in Windows).
Forget to mention one thing: I am using a Windows with both Regional and Language for non-Unicode program options as English(United States).
Could you post a sample file that has the problems you are describing?
Thanks.
Yes, of course. But how could I share a file with you?
And actually, it's easy to reproduce it on a Windows which has some Korean-Chinese-Japanese fonts installed. Just create a new file and save it to a file with some Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters in it's file name. But if you don't have such kind of fonts installed, I am afraid you can't view it even with other applications that can support Unicode very well.
