#2 Special quotation mark problem

It seems that the HomeMade Dictionary uses special
quotation mark characters. They don't seem compatible
when used on an eastern language system, because
eastern languages such as a simplified Chinese Windows
uses DBCS as default encoding. On those systems,
characters following the special quotation mark will be
`stuck' to it and be displayed as an meaningless CJK
character.

I wonder if there is any way to solve this problem by
setting the Java Runtime or by modifying the program,
thus these quotation marks and aphostrophes don't need
to be replaced.

If this doesn't work, then another solution will be to
enable support for quotation marks in the program and
replace all the special quotation marks in the
dictionary text.

Thanks.

    Apologies for the delay in response, however, I haven't
    updated this program for quite a while, and this is the
    first feature request, in sourceforge.
    I am not so clear Esastern encoding sets and hence unable
    to understand your problem fully. If you can give me exact
    error messages/snapshots etc. that will help.

    btw, it appears that you are developer yourself, feel free
    to join this project, and we shall resolve this problem.

    Nitin,

    Thank you for your attention. For these days, I'd first dig
    into the internationalization support in Java, and then give
    you a response. By the way, an picture is attached.

    Thanks for the snapshot, I will try to look into the cause
    of the problem, and will try to figure out the solution.
    However since I am a little busy this week, so expect an
    answer from me, after a little while.

    Do feel free to bother me, in case of any other
    suggestion, or in case you anna join this project.

    Regards
    Nitin
