In fact I didn't have a good answer so we talked about it in the office. It turns out that although those fonts don't show up in your list of fonts in Word or Photoshop, they are installed as system fonts. On Mac OSX you can go to System Preferences and click on the International icon. In Windows it's in your Control Panel. It's amazint how many languages are available and how easy it would be to mess up your system, so be careful... This is a good question.
