    So the default skin does a pretty decent job of displaying some but unfortunately not all simplified Chinese characters. Thus Chinese text is rendered with missing characters and thus becomes garbage.

    The only way I can find around this is to include the Arial Unicode MS font in the build which bumps up the size by a whopping 13Mb! It's 22Mb uncompressed!!

    Does anyone know of a better way? What font do Chinese websites use, presumably there is something that comes with all windows and macs that is used for those websites.

    Is there not a font that can be relied upon to be installed on all machines that can support the full simplified Chinese character set so that it doesn't have to be included in the build?
