    From what I have read, unless I misunderstand, having Windows-XP should
    include Arial Unicode or Lucinda Sans... One of which should have also
    installed onto my fonts folder when updating the office packs/service
    packs... Yet I have no unicode fonts and I can't really see as to why this
    is... And then if I search for just a quick download of the font, I see that
    it and any other unicode font costs ~$100.... Why does it say that this is
    included with windows XP, but I do not have access to it?

    I can't read anything in Chinese on the web as of this moment, which is why
    I ask.

    Your question has nothing to do with Windows Update. Try posting in WinXP
    General or an appropriate Office newsgroup.

    Do you have "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages
    (including Thai)" and "Install files for East Asian languages" ticked in the
    Regional and Language Options control panel?
