- MingLiu (mingle.ttc) works for Traditional Chinese.
- MS Mincho (msmincho.ttf) works for Japanese.
- GulimChe (gulim.ttc) works for Korean. (One customer has reported problems with this font in PDF documents.)
- Simplified Arabic Fixed (SARABIC.TTF) works for Arabic.
There are many other TrueType fonts that work for the above and other languages. Contact Minisoft Support for more details.
