Windows 7 Korean language pack causes problems with Outlook email width

[MetroBOS]

This has been an ongoing problem for me for some time now and I'm hoping someone can provide a resolution to it.

I had to install a Korean language pack in order to read Korean Word documents. The problem is that after installing this language pack, it causes some of my emails to appear a lot wider than they should and wider than they appear for others receiving the same email.

There seems to be a trend in that it happens with emails that contain Chinese or Japanese languages.

I uninstalled the language pack and the problem went away. Then recently I reinstalled the language pack and the problem returned.

Does anyone know why this would happen and if there is any way to fix it without having to uninstall the Korean language pack?

It seems like the Korean language pack installation might be affecting the rendering of emails that include Chinese or Japanese languages, causing them to appear wider than usual for both you and other recipients. This issue could be related to font settings, encoding, or language support configurations within your email client or system. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue without uninstalling the Korean language pack: 1. Font Settings: Check the font settings in your email client. Make sure that the default fonts for different languages are properly set. Sometimes, changing the font settings can affect how text is displayed. 2. Encoding: Ensure that the emails are encoded correctly, especially for multi-language content. The encoding should match the languages used in the emails. You can try changing the encoding settings for the emails to see if it resolves the width issue. 3. Language Support: Verify that the language support settings on your system are configured correctly. This includes language input settings, display settings, and regional formats. 4. Email Client Configuration: If you are using a specific email client, check if there are any language-related settings within the client that might be causing the width issue. Make sure the client supports multi-language content display. 5. System Locale Settings: Ensure that your system's locale settings are correctly configured to support multiple languages. Incorrect locale settings can sometimes lead to display issues. 6. Compatibility Mode: If your email client has a compatibility mode or settings for displaying different languages, try adjusting those settings to see if it helps with the width problem. By checking and adjusting these settings, you may be able to resolve the width display issue with emails containing Chinese or Japanese languages without needing to uninstall the Korean language pack.
