Be sure to include a proper FONTSIGNATURE in your font. RichEdit (and maybe Word), check the FONTSIGNATURE and font bind accordingly. If you don't have a proper FONTSIGNATURE, it may be considered a Western font. Also Word may spot check for a few Chinese characters before concluding that it's a valid Chinese font.

Subject: What is a Chinese font?
In the process of preparing a document for unicode related work I made the attached small font containing 19 cjk glyphs. On linux the font functions as expected, however when installed on windunicode@unicode.orgows XP (Chinese version), in both word and wordpad the font is considered by the system to be a western font and therefore can not be used for cjk characters.
My question then are, "How does windows decide whether a font is Chinese or not? What needs to be added to this font."
Regards
John Knightley
