Using Omniscope with Non-Western Languages

Setting 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.  

To support such text, Omniscope should be configured to use a font which includes the necessary character data. Please see below for recommended fonts.

Font recommendations

For Japanese

The following fonts are recommended for Japanese

• Windows - MSPGothic recommended (you can also try: MS Mincho, MS Gothic, MSPMincho, MSUIGothic, Meiryo)
• Mac OS X - AquaKana, Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3,W4,W6,W8, Hiragino Pro W3,W6, Osaka, Osaka Mon

For other non-western languages

For 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

Please see Rebranding Omniscope for details of changing the application font.
