Not sure if this is the right place to make this post. I'm also a CMS newbie and not very technical, so please forgive my naivety. My concern is not translation of the content, but rather just proper character display. Our site will need to support the following languages:
English
Spanish
Armenian
Korean
Vietnamese
Khmer
Chinese (Traditional)
Russian
Tagalog
Farsi
As you can see, some of these languages do not use the latin script. All the translations are already done. We will be hosting the specific font files for these languages on our server. But I'm wondering if display of these non latin characters is dependent on the CMS as well. Will Drupal be able to support all these different language fonts?
I appreciate any info/advice. Thank you.

job of the browser
Well, the fonts are a job of the browser. Server hosted font support in browsers is close to non-existent, so it is not a good idea to depend on that. You should expect that your users use proper fonts (eg. those who can read Chinese should have Chinese fonts installed on their machine, others would not read Chinese anyway). So the fonts are the job of the client operating system and the browser, not your job.
