Re: Is There Life After Ariel Ms Unicode

[Howard Pasternack <Howard_Pasternack@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've posted the same question on Web4lib and there has been somewhat 
extensive discussion there.  At the moment, Netscape is providing a CJK 
Unicode font at:

ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/extras/fonts/windows/CyberCJK.ZIP

The Bitstream CyberCJK font is not as nice looking as Arial MS Unicode, but 
it does seem to work okay with Innovative CJK.  However, Bitstream has 
removed the font download from its own web site, so it is not clear what 
the license provisions with Netscape are for the long term.  The Bitstream 
font will also work with Internet Explorer.

I haven't worked with Code 2000 font, but I did download the font and the 
html readme indicates that it is shareware and a $5 fee is requested 
through PayPal.  -- Howard
