My App displays English, Japanese and Chinese characters on a TextBox and a LinkLabel. Currently, I check if there are unicode characters and change the font to MS Mincho or else leave it in Tahoma.

Now MS Mincho displays Japanese properly, but for Chinese I have to use Sim Sun. How can I distinguish between the two?

How can I ensure that unicode text are displayed properly regardless of the font/language?

If you have unicode characters for each of the text, using a font that supports unicode should cover it properly for you (e.g. Arial Unicode MS).
