I need a traditional Chinese font

I am having a number of graphics designed for a Mandarin audience. The translated documents have arrived in traditional Chinese, described as Symbol MingLiU in microsoft software. Where do I get access to the same or similiar font for use in Illustrator?

You can purchase it here:
http://www.ascenderfonts.com/font/mingliu-traditional-chinese.aspx
The characters should be readable with any Unicode font that comprises the Chinese glyphs, such as Arial Unicode MS. Note, however, that MingLiU is a "Mincho" (serif) style face, whereas Arial is a "Gothic" (sans serif) style face.
You might get by with MS Mincho, which you might already have on your system. (It ships with MS Office, although you might have to actively install it.)

  • Embedding traditional chinese fonts in pdf

    Hi,
    I am trying to embed traditional chinese fonts in the mdf template.
    I created a soft font catridge using Angsana font and with symbolsets big5 and GB.
    I have also made the registry changes as mentioned in the below specified article:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/knowledgecenter/c4230.pdf
    But when i test the mdf it shows junk chracters instead of chinese...
    Can any one help me out...?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Tom. Yeah, I understand that PDFs are not designed to work like word-processing files, etc., and the need to have the Chinese text copy over well is really just to prove that the document is searchable (i.e. if it can copy a short section of text Ok, then it means the characters are recognized by the PDF reader and I can search the document, which is my main goal.)
    The problem I mentioned with Preview, etc., is actually a new one; one that has become a big problem for me only in the last few weeks. Before, I never had this issue. I'm not sure what changed, but I was suspecting MacKeeper and their "language cluster" cleaning feature, where it "helps" you by removing unused fonts. Though, I can't quite confirm that this has played a role. I just completely reinstalled the OS thinking that this would fix the issue by installing all the original fonts again, if MacKeeper did indeed remove the fonts these PDF programs use when editing or saving PDF files. However.....unfortunately....the problem is still here.
    So, that developer I mentioned in the first thread who said this is an OS X issue may indeed be correct.
    And just to be clear, I have confirmed that the PDF's I working with do have the fonts embedded already. It is only when I alter them and then save or export from Preview, Skim, Nomad, etc., that the character information gets stripped out and I'm left with a document that one can read but cannot search. I can't even OCR it because this problem also affects my OCR software, as if it can't get access to the fonts needed to embed in the recognized PDF.
    Any other thoughts? I'd appreciate any you have.

  • Traditional Chinese font

    I found that my iphone can not always display the traditional chinese font.
    Sometimes it just show some symbol.
    Any one can help?

    I found that my iphone can not always display the traditional chinese font.
    Sometimes it just show some symbol.
    Can you give us some detail about exactly when that happens? On a web page? If so, what url? Email? Text Message?
    In any case, I suspect there is nothing you can do about it other than give Apple the details so they can fix it:

  • Safari and Traditional Chinese Fonts

    Quick question...Why isn't Safari 3.0.4 rendering Traditional Chinese text on some websites anymore? The older Tiger version rendered everything beautifully. Specifically having problems with pull down tabs with hyperlinked text within. Having no problems with Firefox on the same sites. Am I able to run an older version of Safari in Leopard?
    Thanks!

    I do not think it has anything to do with the fact that it is Traditional Chinese in particular. It is probably something generic with any encoding in that kind of position. The same problem appears in Safari for Windows, btw.
    Unfortunately I do not have any fix. Changing language of Mac OS to Traditional Chinese does not help, and neither does changing to Big 5 encoding manually. The best work around is probably to use Firefox.
    If you do not get any further help here, you could try asking at http://groups.google.com/group/chinesemac .

  • Convert simplified to traditional chinese

    I have opened an epub in digital editions and it is showing up with simplified chinese font.  Is there a setting to change the display to traditional chinese font?

    AndreLi wrote:
    Hi,
    I have a .html file created be FrontPage. The encoding was automatically set to Windows1252 (I did not pay attention). I did not change it. I can manually edit it to include Chinese characters, without problem. But the Chinese characters in the files are special code, something like:
    有三个部分
    There is not problem to edit them or showing them using FrontPage, or FireFox. But， now, I want to convert them from simplified Chinese characters to traditional ones. There are many tools to convert Chinese chars, but they do not convert &#26377 in html files.
    Where can I find the mapping table for these kind of coding?
    Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.You have a character set 1 and a character set 2. You assume that you have a character that is in set 1 which also has a representation in set 2.
    If in fact there is such a mapping then you simply look for the characters in the source, look the mapping up, and the write out to a new location replacing the old character (data) with the new.
    The first step of course is identifying explicitly what character set 1 and set 2 are. Then you find something that has a full representation of each of those. And then you map, manually, from one to the other.
    Note that in the above there is in fact the possiblity that there is no mapping. And actually since it appears that you have used tools that map many characters but not this one then it is likely that this is exactly the case.

  • 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...

  • Traditional vs. Simplified Chinese Fonts - Captivate 6

    Hello, I am creating 3 versions of a class - Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English.
    I understand that some of the Adobe fonts (Heiti, Fangsong, etc.) are more appropriate for one Chiese version or the other. Can someone advise which are for Traditional and which are for Simplified Chinese?
    This has been such a long and trying process; I appreciate any and all help.
    Thanks!

    Hi Christine,
    I beileve you posted this on FB page, I have responded there.
    But would let you know my answer again. I have not experimented much but have made a project once using both these languages/fonts.
    I used :
    Kozuka Gothic Pr6N for Traditional Chinese
    Simsun for Simplified Chinese
    Thanks,

  • Chinese component needed to be install for big 5 traditional Chinese

    I have a solaris 8 machine. I would like to support big5 traditional chinese (zh_TW). What would be the component I needed to install? Please advise

    I'm having a similar problem.
    In my Entourage -> Preference -> Read, I set "Big5" as the default encoding for unread msg. However, whenever I open an msg, always I have to manually select "Format -> Char set-> Big5" to have the msg displayed correctly. When I move to the next msg, the char set will go back to "automatically" instead of the char set I just selected.
    Very annoying, does anyone has a permanent solution for this? Appreciate it!

    The language input capabilities of the iPad have been published by Apple in its tech specs since Jan. 27, so that potential customers could be aware of any limitations in that area which might affect them.

  • Chinese font characters disappearing in CS6

    I need to redesign an InDesign file that is in Chinese and originally created in CS5. When I open the document in CS6 some characters disappear (no pink box). When I substitute the font with another Simplified Chinese font, some of the missing characters appear but then I lose other characters. Is this a CS6 issue? Any solutions?

    Chinese fonts can vary dramatically in character count, whether simplified or traditional, but older simplified fonts are particularly small (GB vs. GBK, etc.): the ChineseMac site has a handy list showing character counts for a bunch of fonts.  And sometimes ID doesn't show a pink box, just a blank.
    Differences can be really subtle.  Several years ago I worked on a job using Adobe Fangsong, if I recall correctly.  Some stuff disappeared on a colleague's machine, and it turned out he was using a version of the font bundled with an earlier version of InDesign and hadn't installed the revised font when upgrading ID.  (The older one lacked some of the vertical punctuation symbols I'd added to the files.)
    Good luck!
