I just spent a bit of time trying to get Arabic and Chinese character sets to display in the client and found through research that you need to install the arialuni.ttf font in C:\windows\fonts if isn't already present.

Would it be possible to bundle this with the installer so that others can see unicode character sets without having to any extra installs.

Cheers

It you have Microsoft Office installed then you should be able to find it by searching in file explorer. I found mine under c:\i387\files\windows\fonts and then copied it under C:\windows\fonts to get the unicode characters working with secondlife. If you havent got Office then I guess you could probably find it through google somewhere
