If you want to show English and Chinese in the same document, unless (or
even) if the English is strictly for Chinese audiences, you will most
likely want to use different fonts. Standard office automation suppliers
like Microsoft have behind the scenes support for that, so that many users
don't even know that they are actually using a different font for Latin
than Han.
