I found this website: http://www.kavoir.com/2009/01/what-a...afe-fonts.html
but it says for the majority of Chinese browsers. My target audience is Asian-American community in the US, so they would have MSIE, FF, etc.
I also found, font-embedding, but im leaning towards that MSIE does not support this feature well in CSS2 yet. (?)

Just use Arial or Times New Roman. They are supported out of the box on almost all computers regardless of country. The fonts they were talking about might not be installed by the viewers or the css might not render it and therefore, must be installed to view the content.

Chinese fonts; arial and times new roman don't contain chinese characters, far as I know. That's what the topic's about I think - web safe fonts that have a chinese alphabet/characters in them.Originally Posted by espfutbol98

Astute observation, I double checked it and your correct. The standard Chinese font is SimSun; I guess I remembered wrong.

According to Pinyin Joe, the standard (hence web-safe) Asian fonts on Windows XP are: SimSun, NSimSun, SimHei, PMingLiU and MingLiU. Apple lists the default and additional fonts for each version of OS X: 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5.
Font embedding is held-up by licensing issues. Font owners don't want their property go the way of other digital media.
