I understand the technicalities of having to rebuild or expand the text engine. Regarding the market, it's a "egg or chicken" situation. Definitely the market is not large enough, but Serif could create a market, Serif is not the only company which struggles with CJK support, so the few options available are highly appreciated. One can only hope, Designer it's awesome, the same for Photo, however Publisher is basically unusable (at a professional level) without CJK support.

Well... honesty it's a not much appreciated quality. Thanks for the response! I'll definitely be getting Designer and Photo, Publisher... well, some day.

I'm very thankful for such a great alternative to ADOBE, however... and I mean it in the best possible way, without full support for CJK and Asian Languages in general, the full suit is interesting, usable up to a level, but no more than a pretty toy, professional work is very restricted. Will there ever be full CJK support?, I mean much more than simply localized UI. Can we actually expect a YES (not a polite "we are considering " or "we are working on it") in the near future?
