Chinese font displayed incorrectly in Windows XP

We are creating pdf documents in our business system containing chinese text and therefore using Windows SimSun font as default. Pdf files shows up correctly in Windows Vista, 7 and 8 but in Windows XP it displayes incorrect characters.
If I copy and paste the text from pdf to Notepad in Windows XP and select the SimSun font it diplayes correct characters. Problem is in Adobe Reader, we have tested from ver 9 and up to the latest but still showing incorrect characters.
Any ideas on why this is happening on Windows XP ?

Do you have the appropriate Chinese font pack installed on any of these computers?

Chinese font display problem

In the javascripts of this web site http://weiqi.sports.tom.com/php/zhuanti/zhuantinew.php?id=23
( follow any red link in this page, there will be a javascript popped up), some chinese characters can not be displayed in the right text box and no matter how many changes I make in the fontconfig.properties file about the Chinese font, there is no change of the chinese characters in these java script pages (in the right text box and on the lowerright buttons).
I want to change all the chinese font displayed on the javascripts to the font "ar pl shanheisun uni", how to? Thanks.
My system is Ubuntu 7.04, locale is zh_CN.UTF-8. Jre 1.6.0 or Jre 1.5.0.
I used another Redhat 9.0 system(Jre 1.5.0_02), it can display these characters in the another chinese font. That system is not configured by myself. So I think there must be some way to change these fonts.
Here is my fontconfig.properties file:

Fonts display incorrectly in published page - iWeb 08

Sorry, another moan / question about iWeb 08.
I started to create my site with iWeb 06 and upgraded to iWeb 08.
My published site looks perfect in safari, firefox, opera and omniweb in OSX.
But in internet explorer and firefox for windows, the fonts in most text boxes do not display properly (reverts to a basic font, not the one specified).
As far as I can tell, if it is a plain textbox, the text displays incorrectly, but if, for example I add a hyperlink to the exact same box, the font changes to the one I specify. (Also some text boxes with a filled background or a border seem to display correctly).
Any ideas how to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated.

I asked the same question about a week ago......what people have told me is edit the border, frame or text in photoshop, if I'm not changing thta part of the page....
Are your podcast, blogs and photo pages working ok in IE or Nestcape???.......For me in IE the text and the fonts where the problem.......but in Netscape that was ok, but the podcast, nav bar, photos and blogs are not showing.......When I was using iWeb 06 I did not have this problem......

Chinese Font Display Issues

Dear Adobe Community,
I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6, and using chinese characters for my text. I've been using "Xingkai SC" however strangely, some characters when typed will display correctly as "Xingkai SC" but others will not, and will automatically switch to "Adobe Heiti Std." I don't understand why this is happening, and would like to know the solution so that all characters appear as "Xingkai SC" instead of typing chinese and getting two fonts together in the same sentence. Here's a picture of this below. (a) As you can see the ( Left to right) 1rst and 3rd characters display "Xingkai SC" but the 2nd and 4th characters are displaying "Adobe Heiti Std."Also even when I highlight the text and manually try changing the text to "Xingkai SC" nothing happens, and everything remains the same. Also another quick question. When selecting fonts what does the "O" and "TT" mean? Hopefully can get the frustrating character issue resolved.
(a)
(b)
(b)

We use mostly English/Latin fonts so it's very hard to get someone who knows about Chinese fonts and Photoshop issues on a Mac. However I can give you something to go on.
You have to consult Chinese design forums, here is one to try.
http://bbs.blueidea.com/forum.php
TT = TrueType fonts OT = Opentype fonts. You will need to read up on those terms.
A suggestion for a good Chinese font to try. It may solve your problem:

WebHelp Font Displays Incorrectly in Browser

Using version X5.0.2
Generated WebHelp and uploaded files from SSL! folder to
client's FTP site. When they upload files (all files from the SSL!
folder), the Help text font displays as Times New Roman. However,
the style sheet I used to create the Help set font type at Tahoma.
Also, I'm not sure why, but when I generate the WebHelp, two style
sheet files appear, one named MS_Help.css and the other named
MS_Help_ns.css.

Hello MaLoCo123 -
Re: two style sheets - correct and normal (one for IE and one
for Netscape).
As to the displayed font, not your fault UNLESS you didn't
follow your agreed upon project standards. This is user (client)
setting dependant.
If I opened your Webhelp from my home I would not get what
you want because I don't do Windows and I don't have Tahoma on one
of my Linux boxes (the one I would use to view your project).
I would see what I specify in my browser preferences
regardless of what you wanted, even on a Windows box.

Font displays incorrectly

I have set Verdana as my display font in all circumstances and always have done with all versions of Firefox. But in this version, on CERTAIN text (e.g. on Google searches, all text beneath the link), the font displays in some 'comic' style font that is near completely illegible.
Certain parts of the webpages are fine and do display in verdana, but not sure why as there are 3 settings for fonts in preferences, serif, sans serif and monospace, but it could have nothing to do with these as they are all set to Verdana as is the default.

You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues:

Email chinese font display

I sync my iPhone's Mail with my gmail.
But emails sent to me in chinese normally cannot be displayed properly, seems like iphone doesn't support the font.
While chinese emails i forwarded out, which can exactly being viewed nicely with my Mail apps, the other recipient cannot get the emails in proper display (via normal computer email manager, such as outlook, etc).
I guess this may caused by the font coding incompatibility from Mail apps.
Any idea to solve this?
Thanks for your time!

There's no way to manually change the encoding on iphone Mail for either incomings or outgoings, and that is most likely the problem. You might try changing your OS to Chinese, if it is not in that already, and see if that improves anything. Sometimes this will change the default encoding from Unicode UTF-8 to one of the legacy Chinese encodings.
Send me a test message if you like and I will check the encoding being used (tom at bluesky dot org).

Hello All,
I just upgraded to DW CS3 and any page with paragraphs with

Arabic font displaying incorrectly

I used Avery Design and Print onine to create labels and have inlcuded Arabic text. It all looks fine until I download the document as a pdf file where the text becomes jumbled up. In other words, the Arabic letters are still present but it's all mixed up rather than connected the way it should be. I have used Times New Roman for the Arabic text and have also tried different fonts like Arial and Verdana. I have used both Macs and PCs , as well multiple browsers including Chrome, IE, and Firefox. My default browser is Chrome, however. Also, I do have the latest version of Adobe Reader download, if that helps. I have been trying to figure this out for a few hours and nothing is working!! Please help!!!!!!!!!!

Chrome and Firefox use their own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
Since it fails on all three, my first suspicion is that the problem lies with the software that created the PDF.

I have written an applet supporting simplified chinese
and traditional chinese well. But I then was asked to
do this under windows whose default language is English.
Of course, chinese fonts are available.
I have tried a lot but still cannot get the applet work
with the default language set to English. Seems the system
will not retrieve the Chinese font. Can any one tell me
how?

hi
Please refer to the article that I have written which might be helper to you.

Can only display Chineses characters on OSX, not Windows Vista ?

I have a OSX 10.5 and a Windows Vista machine, both are configured to use English/United Kingdom as Language/Locale. in a java app on OSX I can view chinese characters ok, but on Windows I cant they are just displayed as a square - why are they being treated differently
thanks paul

Thanks, that did work - I used this.setFont(Font.decode("arial unicode 11"));
But on further investigation I found that the problem only occurred with the default Tahoma font when using JGoodies Windows Look and Feel, using the standard Windows or metal LAF it was fine. If I changed the font it worked with JGoodies as well.
here is a program to illustrate problem
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class UnicodeTest
    public void start() throws Exception
       UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
       UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.jgoodies.looks.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
        JTextField txtField = new JTextField();
        txtField.setText("\u01ff\u5742\u672c");
        JTextField txt2Field = new JTextField();
        txt2Field.setText("\u01ff\u5742\u672c");
        txt2Field.setFont(Font.decode("arial unicode 11"));
        System.out.println("Font Field 1 is:"+txtField.getFont());
        System.out.println("Font Field 2 is:"+txt2Field.getFont());
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("UnicodeTest");
        frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        frame.add(txtField);
        frame.add(txt2Field);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
        UnicodeTest test = new UnicodeTest();
        test.start();
}
