Neil, I don't have an answer to your question. I am forwarding your email to the Unicode mailing list http://www.unicode.org/consortium/distlist.html. Hopefully someone on the list will provide you with an explanation.

I've a Word doc.s in the following languages Russian Greek Czech They've been sent to me in Times New Roman font. When I change the font to ariel unicode MS, it all starts to go horribly wrong. The Russian & Greek text spreads evenly over the page as if there are no breaks between the words The Czech text Inserts spaces into words for no apparent reason - it's as if it's suggesting hyphenation breaks, without the punctuation appearing. ALSO, I've a Slovakian pdf that has been annotated, if I use the Unicode Exporter to create the "Summary" table, with the default font of Ariel Unicode MS, it substitutes one of the character's accents. Thereby creating a character that doesn't appear in the Slovakian language. However, all the above problems are solved if I use Lucida sans unicode instead of Ariel unicode. I was under the impression that Ariel Unicode was the "font of choice" for dealing with foreign languages. So how come Lucida Sans Unicode, seems to be able to do what the Ariel unicode can't ? To the best of my knowledge, I'm running a standard Windows 2000 and Acrobat 5.0 set up. All the documents supplied to me, should have come from the same basic platform. I've checked other sites / discussion groups - they all seem to mention earlier versions of Windows creating these sorts of errors. Any ideas ? -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- (End of Report)
