PageSpinner is WorldScript II-compliant. WorldScript input with e. g., Japanese input should work if the file is saved as Mac Text.
Use the Default Filing options… in the File:Preferences menu to set the default file format to Mac TEXT.
Select which fonts to use in the Fonts... option in the File:Preferences menu.
To make older files or the files included in the JavaScript and Examples folders compatible with WorldScript you will need to open the file and use the Set Filing Options… in the File menu to set the file to be saved as Mac TEXT.
If you are using the template-based Database publishing kit, TextSpinner or MailSpinner you need to edit each template file and use the menu File : Set Filing Options... to set the file to be saved in the format Mac TEXT.
About 2-byte characters in comments and JavaScript
2-byte characters are by default not supported in HTML comments and JavaScript, because the font used for comments are preset to Monaco 9.
If you want a 2-byte compatible font to be used, you need to change the font name for the Comment, Script and possibly the Example tag. You can do this by editing the following rows in the file in the file "HTML Tags". The file is located in PageSpinner's "Settings" folder. Open the file with a text editor and change the text "Monaco" to the name of the fixed font that support 2-byte characters in your system.
<XMP> </XMP> 726 Example Code 0 9 1 Monaco
<SCRIPT> </SCRIPT> 0 Java Script 0 9 1 Monaco
<!-- --> 588 Comment 0 9 1 Monaco
