hi starjs. actually, i do have font that produces kanji. i can type kanji, and in create text, i can also type in kanji in the textbox, but once I click on "create" or "apply" all i get on screen are question marks for each kanji, meaning maya probably doesn't seem to know how to turn the kanji into polygons or curves. so i was wondering maybe there's a setting somewhere in maya that i have to select in order for it to build kanji instead of just giving me gigantic question marks...
