Dear Gillian,
I was involved a few years ago in a project looking at putting Japanese
text on the web which uses a Microsoft downloadable font. Unfortunately
we only managed to produce a working demonstrator for IE5 more details
cane be found at http://www.shef.ac.uk/~jsgml/.
If I can be of any help I would be happy to do so.
Yours
Nigel Williamson

Subject: Non-roman Unicode font solutions: contacts sought
At the Digital Shikshapatri project we are interested in making contact
with any other digitisation projects working with languages in non-roman
scripts e.g. Gujarati, Urdu, Chinese, Japanese to share information
about
Unicode fonts (other than MS Ariel Unicode, which has a file size to
large
to be a practical option on many computers), keyboard mapping solutions
and
text search facilities.
Talking with case officers at last Friday's Consrtium Leaders meeting
suggested that a number of projects may be grappling with these complex
issues. As there seem to be no easy answers, we might benefit from
keeping
in touch with each other and sharing information,
