Changing font when translating to Japanese

Hi

I am going to send an English manual to translation in Japanese. The
translators use Trados tageditor.

My manual uses the Verdana font. I believe that I have to change all the
fonts?

Do you know which font I must have in the .mif files? I looked at a
translated Japanes manual and it had both MS UI Gothic and Arial Unicode
MS.



What is the easiest way to change the font? 

A search and replace throughout the book?
What about text on master pages in markers etc?

Is it a better idea to change the font in the .mif file?

I have topicAlias markers which must not be translated. 

Any other recommendations before shipping the file off?
Best regards,

Verner Andersen
