8.3.2.1 Specifying font encoding for non-Western languages

For WinHelp (and for Word), the default font encoding for font types 5 and 6 (see Table 6-4) is fcharset2; for all other font types, the default encoding is fcharset0. You can specify a different font encoding for text in which the “high ASCII” character set contains characters other than the European accented characters (represented by fcharset0). For example, to specify Cyrillic font encoding:

[FontEncoding]

; Font name = value to use in font table for fcharset

Times New Roman CYR=204

This setting tells WinHelp to display Cyrillic characters in place of accented characters for the high ASCII code points.
