I have set my font for Asian characters to MingLiU:
However, when I type any Chinese character (including space or even hit Enter), the font switches to SimSun (Body Asian).
I have to select the text and click for the 'Normal' style then it changes to MingLiU. However, I can never type in MingLiU. Is there a way to solve this problem?
Also, I have noticed this:
This is despite me setting the default font as other fonts for both Latin and Asian settings. Is there any way to change the 'theme fonts'??? Thanks a lot!

Did try to check and did not find any difference with the other one as well.
Can you provide a exact step by step instruction that leads to the issue?
I really don't think it's meant to be this way ... My default font for Asian characters is actually Kaiti but for that document I used MingLiU. I realised that this problem only arises when I use MingLiU; for other fonts such as Kaiti or Microsoft Yahei it doesn't switch to Simsun when I type new characters.
That is how it should work, why not change the default font itself for all documents?
MingLiU should be available be default even without changing the language.
So check with other applications and see if you are able to type there.
