DVD Architect-trouble with Character sets in Subtitles

[goanna300]

I have turned to DVD Architect to produce a multi-subtitled DVD.
However, when I try to apply a Chinese Font style to text, I don't get a drop-down box allowing me to choose "Chinese BIG5" for Traditional Chinese, or "ANSI." The result is Space-junk at the bottom where the subtitles should be.
Anybody got a clue?

Here's what Sony replied:
Hello,

Thank you for contacting Sony Creative Software.

At this time, non-western fonts in general are not supported with our software.

Below is some information from our development staff regarding this issue:

Arabic texts and fonts that appear right to left are not fully supported in the software. As a work-around you can create graphic files in an application like Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop and then import the graphic image file into your project to display the text.

If this is a feature that you would like to see added to a future release, please feel free to submit a product suggestion to our development team.

I am making a DVD with 8 subtitles.
2 of these subtitles are Chinese (simplified GB2312 and Traditional BIG5 Character sets).
I am able to produce a DVD using these Character sets in DVD Lab Pro, but unsatisfied with the results.
DVD Architect looks better. However, I cannot produce Chinese fonts. I have the fonts installed. I can choose the font in the Subtitle "Choose Font" dialog. I have even enabled the Chinese region from within Windows.
I have a number of applications using Chinese and Japanese character sets.
Can DVD Architect select a BIG5 or GB2312 character set?

regards,

Steve
