If this is still a problem for you, I know a few places to find real, honest to goodness fonts that have 10's of thousands of Chinese idiographs. I don't know what you mean by "stylized version of American text". These fonts usually have a kind of generic Asian flavor, they use a character design that will work well, weather you're using it for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. This is usually refered to as a CJK design. Code 2000 is a $5 shareware font that contains about 20,000 CJK characters. It's incredibly small for such a font, just 2.3 megs. home.att.net/~jameskass/ Bitstream CyberBit is a free, very attractive font that also has 20,000 CJK characters. It's much bigger than Code 2000, about 14 megs. ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/extras/fonts/ If you download the Chinese language pack for Microsoft Internet explorer (all the language packs come on the windows 2000 CD, so Win2K folk don't need to download) it has a font that can still be used for general CJK, but was crafted in China, so the feel is a little more in keeping with Chinese aesthetics. Don't know the URL. Another big font, about 9 megs. Hope this helps.
