How to specify 'Chinese' font?

Hi,
I can programatically generate a PDF document with English characters.
I can programatically generate a PDF document containing Japanese characters.
BUT...I cannot get 'CHinese' characters to work.
For Japanese I specify the fonts as follows...
4 0 obj<< /Type /Font /Subtype /Type0 /Name /F1 /BaseFont /MS-Mincho /DescendantFonts [ 5 0 R] /Encoding /90ms-RKSJ-H >>endobj
5 0 obj<< /Type /Font /Subtype /CIDFontType0 /BaseFont /MS-Mincho /FontDescriptor 6 0 R /CIDSystemInfo << /Registry (Adobe) /Ordering (Japan1) /Supplement 2 >> /DW 1000 /W [231 324 500 326 389 500] >>endobj
6 0 obj<< /FontName /MS-Mincho /Descent 0 /FontBBox [ 0 0 1000 1000 ] /CapHeight 1000 /Ascent 1000 /StemV 100 /Flags 4 /ItalicAngle 0 /Type /FontDescriptor >>endobj
...how do I specify 'Chinese'?
Kind regards,
Simon

Hi Leonard,
I found the solution. Hurrah!
I was able to set the width (spacing) of the Latin glyphs, without affecting Chinese glyphs.
*** In the problematic PDF the font was defined as follows:
4 0 obj<< /Type /Font /Subtype /Type0 /Name /F1 /BaseFont /SimSun /DescendantFonts [ 5 0 R] /Encoding /GB-EUC-H >>endobj
5 0 obj<< /Type /Font /Subtype /CIDFontType0 /BaseFont /SimSun /FontDescriptor 6 0 R /CIDSystemInfo << /Registry (Adobe) /Ordering (GB1) /Supplement 2 >> /DW 1000 >>endobj
6 0 obj<< /FontName /SimSun /Descent 0 /FontBBox [ 0 0 0 0] /CapHeight 1000 /Ascent 1000 /StemV 100 /Flags 4 /ItalicAngle 0 /Type /FontDescriptor >>endobj
*** In mysolution PDF I have defined my font as follows:
4 0 obj<< /Type /Font /Subtype /Type0 /Name /F1 /BaseFont /SimSun /DescendantFonts [ 5 0 R] /Encoding /GB-EUC-H >>endobj
5 0 obj<< /Type /Font /Subtype /CIDFontType0 /BaseFont /SimSun /FontDescriptor 6 0 R /CIDSystemInfo << /Registry (Adobe) /Ordering (GB1) /Supplement 2 >>
/DW 1000 /DW 1000 /W [1 95 500 814 907 500 7712 7716 500] >>endobj
6 0 obj<< /FontName /SimSun /Descent 0 /FontBBox [ 0 0 0 0] /CapHeight 1000 /Ascent 1000 /StemV 1000 /Flags 4 /ItalicAngle 0 /Type /FontDescriptor >>endobj
* Notice the additional entry /W [1 95 500 814 907 500 7712 7716 500].
This sets the CIDs 1-95, 814-907 and 7712-776 to be 500, which is half the DW value of 1000.
*** How did I determine the CIDs of the Latin characters?
The answer was located in 'Adobe CJKV Character
Collections and CMaps for
CID-Keyed Fonts', (see http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5094.CJK_CID.pdf).
See section 2.1:
"...Supplement 0 (zero) of Adobe-GB1 enumerates 7,717 glyphs (CIDs 0
through 7716), provides support for the GB 2312-80 and GB 1988-89
character set standards, incorporates corrections and additions specified in
GB 6345.1-86, and includes vertical glyphs specified in GB/T 12345-90.
CIDs 195 and 77127715 are proportional-width Latin glyphs; and CIDs
814907 and 7716 are half-width Latin glyphs.".
Kind regards,
Simon

How to specify the font in a JList?

My application has four columns of data represented in a JList. The default font style does proportional spacing.
I need to specify a fixed width font to control column alignment in the JList. Unless there's something like tab positions? If I can specify a fixed width font, I can format the display strings appropriately.
I think I need to use a cell renderer to control the actual drawing of each cell in the JList?
Also, where do I find a list of the font types?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think you need a cell renderer. You find out how to specify font names by (oddly enough) looking in the API documentation for the Font class; the info for the most usable-looking constructor tells you what you want to know.

I only have one Chinese font on Pages, can I add more?

You can try. See

but I think there may be a size limit and Chinese fonts may be too big. Let us know if it works for you.

Chinese font

Does anyone know how to add chinese font to pages? I want to be able to change between writing chinese and english, is that possible?

You don't need to add any fonts, there are tons of them already in OS X. You just need to activate one of the Chinese keyboards in system preferenes/language & text/input sources, select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, and type away.
A site devoted to help with Chinese can be found at

How to specify fonts in text in SVG file?

I've got an Edge Animate composition that includes a bunch of SVG files which specify (inside the svg files themselves) that a particular font should be used. So for instance, there's text in the SVG that's set to render in Arial. If I view that SVG by itself in the browser, the text is rendered in Arial. But when that SVG is part of an Edge composition, the text in that SVG reverts to some other default font.
The same problem happens when I try to specify a custom web font inside the SVG. The web font shows up fine when viewing the SVG independently, but when it's part of an Edge composition, it reverts to a default (Some serif font: Times, I think.)
Let me stress this is NOT about specifying the fonts in Edge itself (by adding the web font to the edge composition, and then styling text from within the Edge Animate interface): this is about text that has been specified in the SVG file in Illustrator. That font specification is ignored when the SVG is brought into Edge.
This text in the SVG shows as Arial when I'm in the Edge Animate interface, but when I view the whole composition in the browser, that's when it reverts to a different font.
Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've given up on fonts embedded in SVGs for now. I tried using SVGs with all text converted to outlines. That solved the type problem. But it of course made all the SVGs very large. I'm now having a problem with the Edge composition not fully loading.
It throws some javascript errors that indicate that al the libraries haven't loaded. Or, sometimes it just pulls up a blank page and nothing ever shows up, even when there are no javascript errors. The errors are mostly this:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined byod_edgeActions.js:191(anonymous function)byod_edgeActions.js:191
Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'okToLaunchComposition' byod_edgePreload.js:27
edgeCallbackbyod_edgePreload.js:27
(anonymous function)byod_edgePreload.js:15
tbyod_edgePreload.js:11
dbyod_edgePreload.js:10
I.b.onreadystatechange.b.onloadbyod_edgePreload.js:10
So I'm thinking the loader is trying to move on to execute code when it hasn't loaded what it needs. This was happening on Firefox and Chrome. So now I've converted some of the larger SVGs to PNGs, which brought their file size down considerably. This eliminated the error on Firefox, but I'm still getting it in Chrome. I think it's just taking too long to load all my animations. It's a pretty big composition: an infographic that's 548 px wide by 3100 px tall. It has 8 animations in it, each as a symbol. There are perhaps 80 individual graphic elements in total that are involved in the animations.
Even when those graphic files are as small as I can make them, Chrome still errors out before displaying anything.
If it just turns out that this is too big a composition to be done in Edge Animate, I'm in big trouble, as a client has already paid for this.
I'm hoping I can find a way to slow down the loader and make it wait until everything is loaded before moving on. But it's tough, as the edgePreload.js file wasn't meant to be tampered with, and is minified. I don't mind having a preload image appear for a while with a "loading..." message. But if it never loads...
Not sure how to proceed, really.

How to use chinese big5 fonts in Linux with Java 2 1.4.0.01? Please help me

Hello
I just trying to run a java program in Mandrake Linux 8.2. Everythings work well except the fonts. I did read this page
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/fontprop.html
but the problem still there.
Because I don't know how to modify the fonts.properties file. Java seem not support a world language version in Linux. (Although it support in Windows.)
Then I tired to use the windows file, fonts.properties.xh_TW, to replace the fonts.properties in j2sdk in Linux. But it doesn't work.
Please help me by either show me how to modify the fonts.properties file or direct me where to download a Big5 fonts in Linux version. Thanks a lot!!!

Sorry I have been out of for a long time.
If you already follow all the step of Locale help online,
may be your font.dir in your /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/fonts.dir is not as
the alias it was expected.
take a look of that file.
In xtt for chinese, there may be short cut like vl=y as such, because java
render the font directly getting info from the fonts.dir so if the font filename
is not as expected, you will not able to load the fonts. What you need to do is
ln -s realfont vl=y:realfont
to link the font to the make java think the name of the font is actually vl=y:realfont.
Let me know you get it.

Which font and how to add a chinese font into font book that can be used in CS6 programs

I am wondering which chinese fonts are useable for Mac OS X. Which to buy and how to use. Should I use Font Pack or other programs to get the font to be used. Any advice is useful. Thank you

Are you planning on using the Chinese language in Illustrator? Or, do you just want a Chinese looking font, but using the English language? I use Font Agent Pro for font management. It allows you to install the font, view it and print a sample. You can look for Chinese looking fonts online ( i.e., myfonts.com ). As far as Chinese fonts themselves, I have no clue.

How to download traditional and simplified Chinese fonts in PS? [was:Hello, is it possible]

to download traditional and simplified Chinese fonts and install them into Photoshop (if I can find a site that will allow me to download them)? Would I just download them and install them to my Windows font folder and Photoshop would display them under its font tool just like it would Times Roman, Verdana, etc?
Thank you.
Steve

Yes, fonts are handled by the system. Depending on what type of fonts you may however still need to change your system language and region settings to actually get access to them...

How to display Chinese Character(s) in a image on a Linux platform?

Hi,
I have the following code that runs perfect on Windows XP system after I installed the Chinese fonts on it, and set the fontconfig file under jre.
What the program does is: load an image file, write some Chinese chars in it and redisplay the image, so that the image will contain the Chinese characters in it.
I ported the generating image with Chinese Characers part of code into a web application which the servlet returns the modified image to client. The web application is running on a linux box. However, when a user views the image on the browser, the Chinese chars are not well displayed (they are just several squares).
My question is, does the problem comes from the Chinese fonts settings on the linux system where the servlet is running on? And, how to fix the problem, any simple links on how to do that?
Thanks.
public void paint(Graphics g) {
ImageIcon photo = new ImageIcon("C:\\image.jpg");
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.drawImage(photo.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
Font font = new Font("Arial Unicode MS", Font.PLAIN, 16);
g2.setFont(font);
g2.drawString("¶", 140, 220);
}

"Arial Unicode MS" is the font provided by Microsoft, usually with MS Office products. I believe that's why those Chinese are rendered as square boxes on Linux. Either specifying some Chinese font available on your Linux box in the Font constructor, or using one of the logical fonts instead (for JDK5 and later) would help.
