Hey Everyone,

I am in a dilly of a pickle here, to quote Ned Flanders, and I’m hoping someone can help me out.

I have a project that needs to support multiple languages. It’s working great for my standard languages, everything using Basic Latin. Now it’s time to move onto the Asian languages…

The only way I can seemingly get this to work is by using device fonts, which I don’t have a huge problem with, but then my app looks like absolute crap. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a situation like this so that if I’m using a given language, I will use device fonts, if not, I can use my normal, nicer looking fonts?

Thanks for your help,
