		Unicode fonts				Most fonts offered on the World Wide Web are one-byte fonts (256 characters). Unicode is a new two-byte font standard intended for covering virtually all languages (65536 characters). Learn more about Unicode on our Types of fonts page. Please note that Unicode fonts and methods work properly in Windows 2000 / XP only. Note that all Unicode fonts actually contain characters for all languages. The following sites provide really multilingual Unicode fonts: · Christoph Singer (Universität Tübingen) with a clickable table containing font samples. · Unicode.org , a worldwide consortium for the Unicode standard. Unicode-enabled applications Not all applications support Unicode fonts. Some applications that support double-byte character sets internally seem to be Unicode-enabled when run on Windows 2000/XP or later. This held for the old version VTrain 4.5, for example. The following applications do support Unicode fonts: · Sun Staroffice (Freeware) · MS Office 97 and later (Commercial) · UniPad 0.93c , a plain text editor in Unicode format.
