The programming for many fonts on American products follows the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, which is based on the Latin alphabet. This occurs when characters aren’t supported by a font’s code. How are you supposed to know what font to use for what language? Have you ever inserted a translation into your document and instead of appearing as text, you have a string of blank boxes or random English characters scattered throughout the foreign text? Writing documents that use both English and other languages can certainly be tricky.
