Use non-Roman fonts in Illustrator X
Huh? I've been using Illustrator 10 (yes, N American) with Apple's TT CJK fonts and the OTF Japanese fonts (despite Adobe's claims that OTF fonts don't work in Ill 10) that came with InDesign since Ill 10 came out.
Use non-Roman fonts in Illustrator X
Same here. In fact, Illustrator has supported double-byte character sets since version 8 (I think), and even the US version includes several specific features for dealing with Japanese, like kinsoku shori.
But you can't copy/paste
Sorry, I should've been more clear on this. Illustrator will use double-byte (non Roman) fonts, but you can't simply copy and paste out of another program like Word or TextEdit, and PDFs won't import correctly, either.
But you can't copy/paste
I have no trouble copying Japanese text from TextEdit and pasting it into Illustrator 10. You do have to make sure you've selected a Japanese font, of course.
But you can't copy/paste
Good to know. Changing the font in Illustrator and then pasting does work.
But you can't copy/paste
Illustrator is designed to work with CJK text, and has been for many years.
But you can't copy/paste
In my experience with Illustrator since 8, when you paste Asian text from Word into Illustrator the text often appears as nonsensical characters unless Illustrator already "knows" that you are inputting in an Asian language. I get around this by providing a hint:
The text should paste in correctly after the hint character has been entered. It's kind of kludgy, and from another hint I see that setting the font ahead of time may also do the trick, but I haven't tried that yet and this approach has always worked for me. |
