When I type the chinese word in illustrator with Chinese Star 2.97, it is symbol, Why? And which type of chinese program you use in illustrator???

First, what operating system are you using?
Try NJStar Communicator, it's smaller, better and easier to use than Chinese Star 2.97.

If you are using English version of both Windows and Adobe Illustrator you will likely have this problem.

this is a little aside.... where can you download chinese fonts?

 

[Livin4Real]

they usually come with your software, they just aren't installed by default. I know my works suite 99 came with a few different ones.

NJStar is a good alternative. But when you try to type Chinese on the browser it tends to crash IE or Explorer. Bad compatibility.

So, which chinese software can let me type chinese word in Adobe Illustrator 8.0?

Please Help!!

My impression was that you just need the fonts. BUT Maybe an decoder deciphers the fonts so it doesn't come as ascii symbols?

What is a good and free decoder to use?
