There are several additional Font Packs available for Adobe Reader so you can display and interact with documents authored in languages other than those supported in your native Adobe Reader. They fall in to 2 different categories.
Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese and Korean Font Packs : They are needed to correctly display a document when an author does not embed the appropriate font in to the document. They are also needed when the author does embed the font, but the reader of the document wishes to interact in some way with its content – e.g. collaborating, commenting or filling out forms.
Extended Language Font Pack : This Font Pack covers Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese as well as the Eastern and Central European languages (including Cyrillic and Greek scripts). Documents in these languages always have their fonts embedded. Therefore, similar to the previous case, this Font Pack is needed only if the reader of the document wishes to interact in some way with its content - e.g. collaborating, commenting or filling out forms.
Font Packs can be either installed “on-demand” or as stand-alone installers. On-demand means that Reader realizes it is missing the Font Pack needed to display or interact with the document and will ask the user if it should be downloaded and installed. Stand-alone installers, which you can download from this page, allows the Font Packs to be installed independently of Reader.
The version of the Font Pack should match your version of Reader. Version 8.1 of the Font Packs works with both Reader 8 and 8.1. To view Reader system requirements click here.
NOTE : The Extended Language Font Pack includes support for Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese along with Greek and Cyrillic scripts plus Central/Eastern European languages.
