When inputting Japanese text with IME by specifying a Latin font in a comment text box, etc., I have found that the longer the paragraph, the greater the delay in reflecting keystrokes on the screen. This is a serious level of delay that makes key input operations confusing.
When Japanese text is input by specifying a Latin font such as Arial font, the system standard Japanese fonts such as MS Mincho or MS Gothic are used instead because there are no Japanese glyphs in Latin fonts. This issue occurs only when a Latin font is specified, not when a Japanese font is specified.
If you install PDF-XChange Editor in a Japanese environment, the default font setting for text comments, etc. is Arial, so you will encounter this issue unless you change the font setting. The same issue occurs not only with comments such as text boxes and Sticky Note, but also with base content text as long as Latin font is specified. In Acrobat, there is no particular delay in keystrokes when entering Japanese text with Latin font specified.
In the verification video, the first half of the video shows that Japanese input with IME is delayed when a Latin font (Arial) is specified in a text box, while the second half of the video shows that input is immediately reflected when a Japanese font (MS PGothic / MS Pゴシック) is specified in a text box. Even if Latin font is specified, the input delay is not significant when the paragraph length is short, such as when a new line is inserted.
Thank you so much for your continued support.
