Windows TTF on OSX
Bitstream CyberBit is not available from Bitstream anymore because of all the problems it has. A good Unicode font should not implement characters it doesn't have glyphs for. CyberBit, CyberCJK and CyberBase all implement characters they don't have glyphs for. This causes various russian and Japanese characters not to display correctly on Mac OS X (I had them installed myself, so I know this from experience). Better Unicode fonts are Lucida Unicode MS from Microsoft (http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/aruniupd.aspx), and Code 2000 from James Kass (http://home.att.net/~jameskass/).
Windows TTF on OSX
I found all of your comments very helpful. I am a native Russian, and naturally I enabled the support for the Cyrillic alphabet in my OS X. However, I was quite upset when I found out that the font that Apple has chosen to be the System font isn't a full character unicode set. So when I am browesing the Cyrillic based web pages the window titles are displayed in gibberish. Apple incleded a few Cyrillic fonts to "support" the Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian languages but they are really lousy looking. I am looking forward to time when Apple will make it possible for the users to choose their own System font, and when more full character unicode fonts will become available. |
