Actually I think you need to install the fonts on the client, I'm not sure as we only have to support 2 languages and did not need to install the chinese fonts on the server. When you create your columns use nvarchar and not varchar. Remember to double the size of the text field when using nvarchar.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

I do not think that that is a problem. For text fields, we use "nvarchar" so that we can cope with the German ÄäÖöÜüß. I copied some text from a web site in Hindi language into some text fields of our application. The data can be retrieved correctly - even with a SQL Server 2000.
