If you want to show English and Chinese in the same document, unless (or even) if the English is strictly for Chinese audiences, you will most likely want to use different fonts. Standard office automation suppliers like Microsoft have behind the scenes support for that, so that many users don't even know that they are actually using a different font for Latin than Han. >>We are working with a client who is a publisher of Chinese medical >>textbooks. >>Our goal is to set up a configuration that will allow layout of English, >> >>Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese characters in a single >>document.
