Unicode Font

From what I have read, unless I misunderstand, having Windows-XP should
include Arial Unicode or Lucinda Sans... One of which should have also
installed onto my fonts folder when updating the office packs/service
packs... Yet I have no unicode fonts and I can't really see as to why this
is... And then if I search for just a quick download of the font, I see that
it and any other unicode font costs ~$100.... Why does it say that this is
included with windows XP, but I do not have access to it?

I can't read anything in Chinese on the web as of this moment, which is why
I ask.

Your question has nothing to do with Windows Update. Try posting in WinXP
General or an appropriate Office newsgroup.

Do you have "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages
(including Thai)" and "Install files for East Asian languages" ticked in the
Regional and Language Options control panel?
