Re: Fonts for translation

[Deborah Hemstreet <dvora -at- tech-challenged -dot- com>]

Hi David,

In the past, we had best success with using a Times New Roman or Arial 
font. In some cases, we needed to specify Unicode.

Finally, when handling Chinese, a completely different font had to be 
used... don't recall the name right now.

At one time, when working with MS Word, I had to have two separate 
templates, one for the printed English manuals, and one for the 
translations. The different fonts were set in the template for manuals 
sent for translation. When we switched to a CMS, we were able to define 
fonts based on the language.

I hope this is helpful.

Deborah
