> when I type they coem out in our alphabet not in chinese graphics.
I'm assuming you know a method of Chinese typing? Go into OSX's System Preferences and access Personal - International. This will show you what types of international input modes are available to you. You will need to have the Chinese-typing options (the typing modes have names -- I'm none too familiar with them) turned on.
But as I said, FCP's text tools often respond poorly to those input modes. Are you typing in MS Word or TextEdit first?
Sorry if some of this is vague -- I work with Chinese text all the time, but I usually have somebody else type it in first in another document, then I copy and paste into FCP or Photoshop.
