You can also upgrade to SP5 to increase the size of the font cache, as Chris
Pratley mentions. but if you collect a lot of fonts you will still
eventually hit a ceiling (after installing the langpacks for all languages,

Well it's good to finally understand that problem. I'm using NT4.0 SP4. I

Arial Unicode MS uses CJK glyphs from various cultural
styles, so if you need a “pure” font, you would be better off using a font that
specifically targets a particular locale e.g. MingliU for Traditional Chinese,
and Simsun for Simplified Chinese. Both of these come with Office2000.

What version of Windows are you using? What service pack?
There is a bug in the font cache of NT4 that will cause problems if you have
too many fonts installed (especialy big fonts like this one). It will give
the very symptoms you discuss here.
Windows 2000 does not have this bug.

You need to install NT4 SP5 or later to fix this.

Does anybody else have problems with Arial Unicode MS font? I've had to
reinstall it because the font file had become corrupt. At times it will seem

You're all correct: it *is* U+0027 instead of U+0060. I should have
pointed it out... I meant that the format (pattern) was Swiss.
Again, the point is that there are more formats than just the exchange of
U+002E (dot) and U+002C (comma). A lot of programmers are tempted to write
their own number

And the correct character to use with this Swiss numerical format is U+0027,
not U+006
