The installed fonts on your IBM i system have no bearing on what fonts ACS
can use (unless you're running ACS on IBM i).
Google Noto font contains glyphs for pretty much every Unicode code point:

https://www.google.com/get/noto/
The problem is that fonts have a [2]limit to the number of characters they
can encode in the same font file. You'll have to find a font file which
contains the languages you want to use. I'm not sure if Noto contains a
font with both Cyrillic and CJK glyphs - or any font for that matter,
since there are so many CJK glyphs.

Subject: Re: Traditional Chinese in ACS Run SQL Scripts?

I am at the same version of ACS. I did a couple things - I installed a
new language, Traditional Chinese, and I think that put in a couple
fonts.
I was able to use Microsoft YaHei - I don't know if it had already been
installed.
A web page I googled for, about fonts for Chinese, said that Arial
Unicode MS would work - and it does - now the YaHei also displayed
Cyrillic at the same time. JhengHei did not have any Cyrillic, although
both of these are Unicode. MingLiU-ExtB also is Unicode but no Cyrillic.
So very interesting - we are installing SS1 opt 43, additional fonts,
which is supposed to include Unicode fonts.
Thanks for the help
Vern
