Good evening, I'm trying to migrate a software of my employer from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. The software itself has some kind of UTF-8 support, but we didn't write the the code ourself, which seems me to bring where I am now (bah!). I'm looking for a Unicode-friendly TTF font in Fedora and/or EPEL. At the moment, we are using "Sazanami Mincho", but users from Japan told us, that some of the characters would be represented wrong for Japanese, but correct for Chinese and/or Taiwanese. In the end, we need replacements for something like Helvetica (sans-serif), Times Roman (serif) and Courier (fixed) - with as many characters supported as possible. It needs to be a *.ttf file, because we have to use ttf2afm(1) for getting the font into our software. Beside of that, that font(s) should somehow cover (if possible?) the above mentioned issue with the same character in JP/CN/TW but with a slightly different representation depending on the country. Is there a font which is covering that? Is there maybe one (!) font which is somehow acceptable for all countries, meaning Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese people - without any claims by users that some characters are not perfect? "Sazanami Mincho" has many characters (from what we got), but we've claiming users :( If it's somehow relevant, because I don't understand JP/CN/TW, the software is a Enterprise Resource Planning system, that means it's used at business, at organisations etc. If JP/CN/TW has any characters which are not relevant to business, the font hasn't necessarily to support them then... ;-) Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for a font that could fit our needs? Hope to hear something else than "design your own font" by you. Maybe we (Fedora) have native speakers for JP/CN/TW, who could help here? Greetings, Robert
