have you done a clean sysgen and deleted the default registry on the
device?

setting i should delete.It would be of great help to me.The same problem im
facing for Greek fonts also.

build:
during the build process you registry file reginit.ini is generated.
all *.reg files are merged.
lot's of registry settings depend on which LOCALE number is set. even
more, lot's of strings are not hardcoded, they are implemented with
*.str files in each language.
so lot's of files of your flatreldir are localized during the build
phase.


the registry on the device:
when the windows starts the first time, it searches for a valid
registry (if you have a persistent one). if there is a valid registry
it will be laoded. so if you now load an image the first time with
language A, the registry with designed for language A is stored as a
persistent registry. then you load an image with the language B, the
registry with language A is loaded for the image which is localised for
language B --> lot's of different problems...
so if you change the language on a ce device with a persistant registry
make shure you delete the registry (and save the important settings
bevore if you need)

Ok Jack now i understand the sequence.But now can you tell me which is the
file i need to delete in my device.Because i have built a new nk.bin for my
Russian locale and loaded it in my device.I dont find any registry related
files in my device.

you have to delete the complete registry so that the wince assumes that
there is no valid registry stored and thakes the one in the nk.bin
file.

how you delete the registry depends on your implementation of the
persisten registry.
