The system installs STSong, but that doesn't help, because I also need to produce PDFs and STSong is not licensed for embedding in a PDF.
Song is essential, as I exchange files with Chinese Windows users on a regular basis, and they are in Song. something to do with a conflict with the original SIL Doulos IPA font, I believe.Ĭan anyone suggest how I can get it. I tried copying the font from my old Rev 1 TiBook, which has it, though it is now running 10.4.8 but when I tried to install it on the MacBook Pro, I got an alert that it was corrupt. If you find that all the boxes are already checked (which may happen depending on the Windows installation), uncheck all except 'Simplified Chinese' and 'Western Europe and the United States (default). The Hei.dfont and Kai.dfont are there on both versions of the system. Do not add Traditional Chinese, since all the traditional characters are available from within the simplified Chinese input method. To try to find it, I did an 'archive and install' on my bootable back-up disk, but Song.dfont is missing from that new 10.4.7 installation.
The machine came with OS-X 10.4.7 which I have upgraded to 10.4.8, fully updated. I recently bought a 17' MacBook Pro-bought in China-and have discovered that one of the most important Simplified Chinese fonts, Song.dfont, is missing.
