Chinese fonts in 10.2

Anybody got the scoop on what those funky new Chinese fonts Apple allude to on their website that are being shipped with OS10.2 might be? Also, seeing as OSX can use PC fonts, anybody have any good ideas where I can get funky Chinese fonts from? (My wife is from Hong Kong and is a designer like me, but she designs in English and would like to have a crack at designing some Chinese stuff without being restricted to the Chinese equivalents of Arial and Times!)

    <a href="http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/china.html"; target="_blank">This page</a> has a pretty good list of places to get fonts.



    I haven't had much success getting Chinese Windows fonts to work under Mac OS X. Maybe Jaguar has fixed this.



    I don't see any reference on Apple's site to funky fonts, but I hope "full suite" is good enough for you . By the way, your wife may want to try some of the Japanese fonts currently included in 10.1. They're not particularly creative, but they offer some more visual diversity compared to the Apple's standard Chinese fonts.

    Don't see any new traditional chinese fonts though.

    Darn. I guess the new fonts are more for Mac OS X's viability in China than for anything else.
