10.3 Double-byte Character Sets
Does PlanetPress Design support double-byte character sets?
Double-byte character sets are supported in the PlanetPress Suite. It is important to note that double-byte
character sets occupy twice the amount of space as single-byte character sets.
When working with Asian character sets and other non-Latin character sets that are double-byte, note that in
the documentation, the length of strings is specified for single-byte character sets. For example, if the limit is
specified as 256 characters and you are using a double-byte character set, the limit is actually 128 characters.
Supported double-byte character sets include PostScript and TrueType fonts. For optimum performance,
PostScript fonts are recommended.
When previewing or printing PlanetPress Design documents that contain double-byte TrueType fonts, such as
those used for some Asian languages, you must enable the Run locally option. This true whether the
document is previewed or printed by PlanetPress Design or via PlanetPress Watch/Server.
