But you can't copy/paste
Authored by: vladimus on Sep 16, '03 05:03:39PM

Good to know. Changing the font in Illustrator and then pasting does work.

However, if you don't know which fonts to use, copying and pasting won't work. This is especially true in mixed language documents.

Illustrator is designed to work with CJK text, and has been for many years.

However, the text engine is still not unicode-savvy, so you can run into problems with multilingual documents. Part of that depends on the app you are copying from-- if it includes a SimpleText 'styl' resource on the pasteboard then multiple fonts/encodings ought to paste correctly. Otherwise, the font info will be lost.
