Non-Western DataUsing Omniscope with Non-Western LanguagesSetting your Omniscope to use a font that supports your language and data
The default font used by Omniscope is Tahoma which does not have the Unicode character set necessary to support non-western language text such as for Chinese and Japanese. However, you can easily configure Omniscope to use a font which supports non-western text and there are three ways to do this which are described below. The first two are only available from 2.6 onwards, therefore, if you are using 2.5 then you will need to specify the font using the branding options (see point 3 below).
The precedence of which font to use is as follows, with the setting first in the list below taking precedence and then the second one and so forth.
If for some reason a setting fails, then Omniscope will automatically roll-back to the next font to use in the precedence order.
Font recommendationsFor JapaneseThe following fonts are recommended for Japanese
For other non-western languages such as ChineseFor all other non-western languages "Arial Unicode MS" can be used. Other fonts can be used if they are available. However, "Arial Unicode MS" is known to work well and is included with Windows and Mac OS X10.5. For more information please refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287247
