Version 3 of Arial Unicode MS

A really good quality font file, from Microsoft, it comes with MS-Office-2000, it is freely available for download from many sites. It is huge and contains big collection of characters.

Really useful for displaying CJK symbols. Example (it uses Perl+Tcl/Tk and heavily uses said font):

RS: An alternative is Bitstream Cyberbit, which used to be free, and now is less so - but google for "cyberbit download" for ways to get it. It works great with Tk on my Win95 box and iPaq - screenshot at i18n tester

LV I guess I'm a bit concerned about the term freely available above. Unless Microsoft states that the font is free to use on any platform, I would not allow my employer's computers to use it without appropriate licensing.

Who really wants to be dragged into court and charged with pirarcy?
