Question
I am able to type chinese font in Adode Illustrator, however, I cannot install new chinese font. Problem is all those chinese font can be shown in Photoshop, but can't in illustrator. How can I use those chinese font?

Answer
This one is pretty easy. Start typing your document in whatever font is active at that time. After having typed a few words, go to the properties bar at the top of the Illustrator artboard and look for "Type>Find Font. On the dialog box that appears be sure that all the various font  groups are checked and then look for the drop down list labeled "Replace with font from" and select "System". Look for the Chinese font you need in the lower window of the dialog box and select it. Now click done, and voila! The font should change automatically.

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Best,

Mark
