Oh, that's to bad.

Under the assumption, user can access the system partition, I have a some kind of a way to support non-us character on zune.

Basically, I think Zune's default registry setting indicate a link from zune's default font to the asian font (korean and chinese and etc.) under the registry entity "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\Sy stemLink"

and following is actual registry data.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\Sys temLink]
"Convection Condensed"="\\Hard Disk\\Fonts\\msgothic.ttc,MS UI Gothic;\\Hard Disk\\Fonts\\gulim.ttc,Gulim;\\Hard Disk\\Fonts\\mingliu.ttc,MingLiU;\\Hard Disk\\Fonts\\simsun.ttc,NSimSun"
"Convection UI"="\\Hard Disk\\Fonts\\msgothic.ttc,MS UI Gothic;\\Hard Disk\\Fonts\\gulim.ttc,Gulim;\\Hard Disk\\Fonts\\mingliu.ttc,MingLiU;\\Hard Disk\\Fonts\\simsun.ttc,NSimSun"

(gulim.ttc is korean font mingliu is for chinese)

Though the registry value indicates 'link', the system partition actually does not have those fonts, so the non-us character appears as a box.

So, I think if we put those fonts into the system partition, zune will correctly display non-us character.

(and this method is used on some english version windows mobile based PDA to support non-us character)
