Hi Nancy,
Here is the official word from our product marketing folks:
The current release of Epic Editor (4.2.1) supports CJK *editing*.
The next significant release of Epic (4.3), which we will announce
at AUGI (our annual Users Group meeting in Montreal May 14-17) and
expect to deliver in June, will support CJK *printing*.
In the meantime, Adept 8.1 is the latest release that supports
CJK printing.
regards (and salutations from way back),
paul
