The March issue of MacWorld says that the extra memory in the Apple
LaserWriter II NTX can be use for non-roman fonts. Is the version
of PostScript in this machine able to handle a dictionary greater
than 256? Had anyone implemented a font with more than 256 characters?
I know Adobe is working on a kanji font. Will it work with the
Apple LaserWriter II NTX? Is there a NON-ROMAN version of PostScript?
I am interested in a Chinese Character font, or the ability to write one.

This is the list of font foundries which have some type of
foreign language fonts. But first, I recommend you making contact
with Worldwide Design Group, directly.

Now, the following is the list of possible foreign font foundries.
Among them, Allotype, Eastern Language Systems, Ecological Linguistics,
Linguists' Software, Monotype and NeoScribe are popular foundries with
their foreign fonts. My information listed here might not be up-dated
recently. At least some of them should have added some other foreign
fonts since I collected this.
