Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese, and all other left-to-right Unicode languages, are handled in Q++Studio as any simple European language, such as English.

 

➢If using QuarkXPress, then you need QuarkXPress version 8-2024 for CJKV support.

 

No special handling is needed, beyond making sure that you are using a font that supports the chosen language and which is encoded properly.

 

To verify that a font supports the language you wish to use, open the character selection dialog, and select the Range which corresponds to the selected language, as shown in the collage on the right.

 

If you select a font in the Font field at the top-left of the dialog, and the corresponding Range on the right, and the displayed results are similar to the examples on the right, then your font supports the language that you are interested in.

 

Note that not all fonts support all CJKV characters; you may need different fonts, or multiple versions of the same font to display more than one of the CJKV languages.

 

Vertically oriented fonts

 

Fonts whose names begin with the at character (@) are the legacy vertically oriented fonts of early versions of Windows 32-bits, and these screen-only fonts should not be used for print with QuarkXPress or InDesign. You should always use the version of the font whose name does not begin with the @ character.
