I'm not sure about unicode. I'll try to remember to check. That's a great question, and came up in another thread also. I'd be surprised if it doesn't support unicode, but I have no basis for that guess.

The display fonts are the built-in fonts on the reader. That set is fixed and any other fonts probably get converted. With pdf documents, I think fonts can be embedded, can't they? It would be interesting to see if the Reader can use those fonts embedded in a pdf document. Actually, I think that was a side conversation going on while we were in San Diego, but I was busy with another topic at that time and missed the answer. Maybe Nathan heard that one.

Unfortunately, as I alluded to above, you can't install your own fonts in the Reader, with the possible workaround of embedded pdf document fonts, but I'm not sure about that.
