    Hello Ed,

    Here is a link to help show you to type Chinese characters in Illustrator. It would also help if you have a Chinese keyboard to help type in Chinese.

    For some reason Illustrator applies by default Kozuka Gothic Pr6N. Try FangSong.

    Thanks for the reply. I actually found another solution on another discussion board. Someone suggest "NSimSun" and it worked. It might be part of the FangSong like you suggested. I doubled checked it against our certified translation (of the product) and it looks the same.

    Thanks again

    Thanks,Scott. However, I still can't manage to get Chinese characters onto my Illustrator file. Is a Chinese keyboard essential or is there a way to convert an English keyboard to type in Chinese?  Thanks for your help.

    Please answer: Are you able to use Chinese and Korean characters on your computer at all? What system?
