How to
Use Unicode Pinyin Fonts by Tianwei Xie Updated August 2002. Now it
is possible to type Pinyin with tones in Word 97 or 2000 and create a
web page with Pinyin. The Microsoft Word 97 has a built-in unicode
Pinyin font 'Lucida Sans Unicode'. The new Word 2000 has four Pinyin
fonts: Arial, Courier New, Lucida Sans Unicode and Times New Roman. If
you see the proper Pinyin fonts below, that means you already have
these fonts.

quality.
