I was trying to translate texts on my design into Chinese but for some reason it displays random numbers and letters. Is there a way to get this done? And is there a font that is downloadable to make it work? Thanks!

Just found an answer.

I tried the nSimsum font built in Photoshop and it works great.

Yep. You can't represent a language unless you have a font for the language loaded. This is also true for the other people who will view your work: THEY must have an appropriate font loaded, too. Anyone who doesn't will get those little boxes with the unicode indexes instead of the glyphs of the language.

  • aaa, y'got me. Rasterising it does indeed obviate the need for the font itself. Makes it hard to use, though.

    @MMacD, Yeah! but I think the nSimsum font is included in PS default fonts. But it depends on the font I used if the viewers don't have the font I used it displays weird boxes. Thanks!
