No luck right onw! I expect Canon is working on Hangul, but the Chinese market for NeXT is so small as to be worthless (unless they sell royal in Hong Kong and Singapore (hi Bill!)). Chinese is non-trivial, even more Kanji than Japanese and Korean and a lack of a real standard input system. But then again, NeXT uses Unicode, so it isn't out of the question. THe question is, does Adobe or anyone else sell Chinese kanji PS faces? If it is short and undiscerning people are reading it, you might try to use 2.1-J (Japanese). A lot of Kanji's are the same or slightly different..... - Jiro == tsugi + rou == "next" + "man" == NeXTman! ;-) -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com (NeXTmail) NeXTwatch / Technical Editor 76711,542 (CIS) The Shaman Group +1 607 277-1440 (Voice/Fax)
