Hi,

Check the font family and font size that should be supported to print the chinese text.

I am trying to print in simplified Chinese with SMARTFORM. I pass the corect language in the control parameter '1'. When I preview I can see good translations in EN or ZH BUT I can not print.

We are on release 6 and I understand cascading fonts not real option until release 6.2. The CONVERT_OTF_TO_PDF will not translate the Chinese character to PDF. We are using Unicode.

I really would prefer having a solution NOT tied to a particular printer make and model as this is limiting. I do not want to re write in ADS.

I am sure somebody is doing this but can not get a complete answer as to how this would be done. Any help is appreciated.
