Unicode Font Pros and Cons

[Maggie Yeung]

We have developed a Windows software product and it will be localized into 10 different languages, including several Asian languages.  What's the pro and cons of : 1. Use Unicode font for all languages 2. Use Roman font for Latin1 languages and Unicode font for Asian    languages. e.g., The pros and cons of using Unicode font for all languages are: Pros:  Easier for internationalization, localization, testing and installation. Cons: Not many Unicode fonts available, limited choice, UI may not look as pleasing as other non-unicode fonts.  Also, Unicode font is large, may take time to load it. Can someone think of any other issues related to using Unicode font. Maggie Yeung
