Swift-TX subtitling with Windows XP Japanese IME
In order to get Swift to work with Japanese , you have to set the font in the swift preferences:

meaning: IME showing up here.
”Input mode” must be set to Hiragana, not “direct input” which (if I recall correctly think) we did in XP/ control panel/ “regional and language settings”.
We could replicate getting it to work on other XP computers:
by resetting of the “input mode” from “direct input” to “hiragana”,
AND after a restart of switch and opening a new swift file:
Next problem:
when you use ctrl up/down arrow , spurious spaces appear between letters.
