Chinese Font on US Keyboard

[chazmtu]

Does anyone know how to get Chinese fonts show up in windows vista with a US keyboard? I have the fonts installed but they show up as English. I'm hoping to add them to a giant coin using cambam. Any advice would be appreciated.

I figured it out and wrote a tutorial if anyone's interested.

Neat stuff. Getting the characters to show up was only half the battle - I appreciate how you also explained how to easily translate from English to Chinese. I might use this information to make up a plaque for a Chinese friend of mine.

Thanks Chuck, this will come in handy for future projects.

Glad it could be of use. You could probably get other languages to work too, though I haven't tried.
