Formatting Asian characters
Illustrator provides a variety of options for formatting Asian characters. For example, you can set Asian Open Type
font attributes, use tate-chu-yoko, aki, warichu, mojisoroe, mojikumi, kinsoku, burasagari, and kurikaeshi moji shori.
In addition, you can combine Asian and roman fonts and create composite fonts.
Note: To enable support for GB18030 fonts for Simplified Chinese in Windows XP, see the Readme file in the Illustrator
CS5\Simplified Chinese\Goodies\Optional Extensions\GB18030 folder.
