Changing font when translating to Japanese

[David Farbey]

Hi Verner,

I hope I'm not missing something important here, but I think the answers to
some of your questions are quite straightforward:

1. You can use the Paragraph Designer to change the font, for all the
relevant paragraph tags.
2. If your book has multiple chapters use Import> Formats to copy Paragraph
Designer settings from one chapter to all chapters.
3. The only people who can tell you which fonts to use are your translators
or editors.

You also need to discuss your other questions with your translators, editors
and project managers, as they will probably know what works in your
particualr situation.

Hope this helps,

David

Regards,

David
