Even though my main Asian language is simplified Chinese 
(zh_CN), I sometimes also need Japanese (jp) and Korean 
(ko). Also, for reasons of beauty, I use traditional 
Chinese (zh_TW) in special (old stylish) documents (e.g. 
poems).

So, you mean I can get zh_CN to work properly, but then I 
have trouble using jp or zh_TW? Is there a workaround? I 
probably don't have a problem with Chinese, when I use a 
font in OpenOffice that exists in zh_CN and zh_TW, such as 
AR-Kaiti and AR-Songti, which exists as GB (zh_CN) and Big5 
(zh_TW)?

What do Chinese people do, when they sometimes have to write 
letters in Japanese, e.g. if the work in the Chinese branch 
of Sony?

Thank you

Marc
