Default How to install Arial Unicode font?

Sat, 29 Oct 2005 19:07:07 -0500 from "Chris" anon:
I need to deal with some documents that have a very wide variety of Unicode
characters. I've read that the most complete font for these characters is
Arial Unicode MS, which is ARIALUNI.TTF.

I can't figure out where to find it. I read that it exists only in MS
Office. I have Office 2003 Professional. It wasn't obvious how to get the
installer to install it.


I'm pretty sure Arial Unicode comes with XP; since you have Word 2003
I assume you have Windows XP. (My Arial Unicode font is called plain
old "Arial" and the file is ARIAL.TTF, 359 KB.)

Open up Character Map, select the Arial font, select "Unicode" in the
"Character Set" drop-down, and you should see zillions of characters.
If not, I'm not sure what to tell you.
