Hi,
 
Trying to print lable with Chinese character on QLN320 printer. Have already set ^CI28 for UTF-8 encoding also uploaded the Arial MS Unicode font to the printer but no luck. Below is the sample of the zpl command extract from the host system.
 
^XA^LH0,0^CI28^CWR,E:ARI000.TTF^FT207,307^A0N,42,42^FDNZMP全脂奶粉^FS^FT38,57^A0N,42,42^FDTag:^FS^FT38,235^A0N,42,42^FDSKU:^FS^FT207,235^A0N,42,42^FD1166001^FS^FT207,57^A0N,42,42^FDK322551^FS^FT38,307^A0N,42,42^FD描述:^FS^FO38,76^A0N,42,42^BCN,105,N^FDK322551^FS^XZ
 
All Chinese characters becomes garbage characters on the print out.

Fed

This is a simple mistake. In the ^CW command you specify the font identifier to be 'R'.  When you are placing your text, you are still using font identifier '0'.  It is not using the Arial font you downloaded.  Just change all the ^A0N commands to ^ARN and it works, or change to ^CW0,ARI000.TTF.  I tried it and it prints the correct characters.
