I have downloaded the HK Fonts for my Chinese XP from Microsoft's web site. BUT, wehn I keyed in the special HK Fonts by Cantonese input. Like "ke", "bo" (Sham Shui Poo), nothing showed up from the boxes.
But how come the Cantonese Input cannot apply to the special Hong Kong fonts ?

There are many Cantonese Input Methods in the market. These input methods are developed for years and they also make use of Extented User Define Characters. Let's take a look at the HK government's document about 香港常用字:-
”
甚麼是《香港增補字符集》
以往面對的問題
本地用戶在電腦上使用中文字符所面對的其中一個問題,是常用的中文電腦編碼標準,如大五碼及 ISO 10646 國際編碼標準,並不包括香港有需要使用的特別中文字符,例如人名、地方名、及粵方言用字的字符。
為了解決上述問題,用戶可以在其電腦所使用的編碼標準 (如大五碼及 ISO 10646 國際編碼標準) 的使用者造字區內,自行編製所需的中文字符。但是,在一部電腦上編製的使用者造字,未必能在其他電腦上使用,導致在電腦間使用中文進行電子通訊及資料交換時,產生資料失誤的問題。
So, if the developer of the input methods have developed their own character set for the extented HK characters and use their own encoding map, then you cannot see the right character when you key in the key sequence for a character in these input methods but use the downloaded HK font file from Microsoft to display it.
Example:-
倉頡碼-
心山弓中=h("屯"+"β")
Most of all input methods will use this key sequenc for the character, but in the HK font set download from microsoft, the internal character ASCII code (內碼) of this character is $9068H. Therefore, if the font mapping of this character in the input method is differ from the one used by Microsoft, say, $FEFEH, wrong character will be displayed, because $FEFEH in Microsoft HK font character set is this character .
Make it simple:-
In Microsoft 倉頡輸入法 :-
心山弓中 will map to ASCII code $9068H and will be displayed as h("屯"+"β").
In other input method :-
心山弓中 will map to ASCII code $FEFEH and will be displayed as h("屯"+"β") if and only if you are using the HK font set supplied by the developer. Otherwise, in the HK font set supplied by Microsoft, this character will be displayed->.
Usually, HK font set supplied by the developer will br 90% same as the set supplied by Microsoft.
