On Unix, you can also install Arial Unicode MS and the rest of the MS fonts(possibly subject to license restrictions.) The native BDF fonts that come with recent versions of XFree86 also cover all of WGL4 (a Western character subset by Microsoft and Adobe) and several of them cover MES-3 (a larger European subset). http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/cu.html http://bibliofile.mc.duke.edu/gww/fonts/Unicode.html http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html all contain large Unicode fonts for Unix, and with a recent font server, you can use any font on Unix you could use on Windows.
