DESCRIPTION


The System-locale setting determines which code pages (ANSI, DOS, and Macintosh) the system uses by default. If you change the System-locale setting, the necessary bitmap
font files are installed to support legacy applications in the selected language. Note that because this is a system setting, this can only be changed by a user with
Administrator permissions, and changes do not take effect until the computer is restarted.
