Chinese font problem

Hi,

I'm working on a Chinese movie in Europe and I have a problem with Chinese fonts in photoshop.

I have an RTF text and I copy/paste the text in photoshop. While After Effects recognize the characters correctly, photoshop doesn't and some characters are missing. I'm using the same exact font in both software. I tried different Chinese font options but they all work in After Effects (and any word processors), not in Photoshop.

Any idea?

Correct answer Abambo

What version of Photoshop and After Effects are you using? What platform?

For Chinese fonts, I have found that the best font is Source Han Sans (Source Han Sans - Wikipedia ) from Adobe - Noto Sans CJK from Google. They are the same. There exists also a serif version now.

The advantage of these fonts are:

  • they are freely available as open source fonts
  • they have a complete Asian characters set (the most complete I ever saw)
  • they are available with the code page of your choice as default, which may be your problem with your font.
  • they are available in different weights.
  • they are simply beautiful.

BTW: SC seams to be "simplified Chinese", isn't it?

Update: Heiti SC seems to work in photoshop but I would like to use Heiti STD with simplified Chinese, which works in after effects...
