    Unicode Application Question

    Hello,

    We are in the process of writing an application that is unicode
    compliant. The question that I have is what unicode font should be
    used for all of our forms? Currently we are using Arial Unicode but we
    have come across instances where users don't have this font. Is there
    a unicode font gauranteed to be included with Windows XP or can this
    font be distributed with our application?

    Thanks,
    Rob Panosh

      Rob,

      I don't know the answer, but should you not tell which culture versions of
      XP.

      I assume that the fonts on Chinese XP systems are not the same as on French
      systems.

          Cor,

          Thanks for the reply. The problem we have is our application allows
          for many languages, meaning somebody in the U.S. can have English,
          German, Chineses, Greek, etc ... on their screen. The problem is
          solved if I can gaurantee Arial Unicode (or an equivalent) is on their
          system.

          I am very surprized that nobody else has this issue.

          Cheers,
          Rob
